If you could take lessons on anything, what would it be and why? Back in August when we got into this second book of prompts, one of the first prompts asked “what is something you want to learn but have been too afraid to try?” I’m not really scared to try learning new things, but … Continue reading Prompt 374 – Lessons

Grief
Last June, I wrote a post about how grief is weird. I talked about how it's an ongoing process and it doesn't ever really go away.

That a person could have amassed so much wealth as to … Continue reading Prompt 360 – Charitable Giving

Prompt 348-Love Hate Relationship
Do you have a love/hate relationship with someone or something, if so explain? Writing. Obviously, I love writing, or I wouldn’t do it day after day.
