Every now and then, I like to give you a glimpse of something I'm working on. I've been doing some family research on ancestry.com recently, and discovered one of my ancestor's point of entry of immigration to the United States. I challenged myself to a short two-page writing prompt about Constantine Maximillian Ulrich (I know, … Continue reading {Writing Wednesday: Con’s Journey}
July is a slower month for us in a lot of ways... warm days of soaking up the sun, long summer evenings gazing into the backyard fire, slower mornings and general laziness descends upon us. It's also slower when it comes to celebrations... We seem to frontload our year with birthdays, and then around May … Continue reading {On Birthdays and Anniversaries: July Edition}
Yesterday's Writing Wednesday prompt: train. Here's what came from a 10 minute writing session. Enjoy! She pulled open the door of her compartment, swaying as the train rounded a bend.

It seems like this is the time of year, with Easter right around the corner, that we begin to hear from many leaders about the power … Continue reading {Power of an Invitation… sort of}

A couple of weeks ago, I had the rare opportunity for an unexpected and uninterrupted hour of alone time. Wow, I thought to myself. I can spend some time writing. Writing time on weeknights doesn't usually happen for me. When I get home from work, it's time to get my workout in, and then jump … Continue reading {Writing Wednesday: From the Melancholy Place}
I recently started following author Ashley Abramson on Instagram, and she offers weekly writing prompts for her followers. In an effort to stretch myself with regard to my own writing, I've given a couple of them a try. Recently, she did a couple of prompts about writing your enneagram.
