Conversations with the Dead and Other Time Thieves…
Daily Writing prompt: Which activities make you lose track of time? Now that’s a good question! Though, as usual with me, there’s never a straight answer. 😂 It depends on the day, the mood, and what sort of nonsense the universe has decided to fling my way. Some days it’s overthinking, and before you know…

Empty Fridges, Full Grudges, and Other Nonsense…
Daily Writing Prompt: What bothers you and why? And before I started making a list, the length of the Shannon, I took a deep breath… Because when I sat with this morning, the first thing that popped into my head was people who put empty boxes back in the fridge. Then I laughed, because of…

Half-Truths, Suspicions, and Sacred Maybes…
Daily Writing Prompt: List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain. Honestly? I don’t think I know anything for certain. Not a damn thing. Life seems to take great pleasure in proving me wrong the minute I get too sure of myself. But for the sake of this prompt, and in the spirit of…

Adventure Called, I Hung Up on Security…
Daily Writing Prompt: Are you seeking security or adventure? Well, security sounds lovely, but let’s be real, I’m not exactly the poster child for sensible life choices. Security is fine when it comes to knowing where your next cuppa is coming from and making sure the electrics won’t kill you when you flick a switch.…

Tea Leaves and Tall Tales: A Dinner with the Dead…
Daily Writing Prompt: If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? Oh, that’s easy. I’d invite all my ancestors, every last one of them, from the ones I’ve heard stories about to the ones whose names got lost somewhere between a patch of bog land…

Aged to Imperfection…
Daily Writing Prompt: What do you think gets better with age? You know what gets better with age? Me. Like a fine wine? Nah. More like a battered old whiskey barrel, a little rough around the edges, full of strong opinions, and no longer pretending to be sweet when I’m really not. Somewhere along the…

Early Birds, Old Dogs, and Murphy’s Law….
Daily Writing Prompt: What time do you go to bed and wake up currently? When do I go to bed and wake up? Well, like most things in my life, it depends. I always wake up to the sound of birds singing in summertime. There’s something about that early chorus that pulls me out of…

Comfort? I’m Winging It, Thanks…
Daily prompt: What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? Well, isn’t that a loaded question. What strategies do I use to increase comfort? Honestly? None. I don’t have a list, a Pinterest board, or a 5-step morning routine blessed by the gods of wellness. I live moment to moment like…

Excited, Against the Odds…
Daily Writing Prompt: What are you most excited about for the future? You know what? I’ve been thinking about this one. And it’s funny, because the other day I was asked what I’m most worried about, and the list was long enough to circle the block twice. But excitement? That feels different. That’s something quieter,…

I’ll Take My Peace, Hold the Apologies…
I saw the daily prompt today:“What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?” And to be honest, I didn’t have a tidy, social-media-ready answer.I’ve walked away from houses. From material things. From relationships that drained the life out of me. I’ve left behind the things most people spend their whole lives clinging…
