    Daily Prompt: If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? Right, first of all, can we talk about that word forced? Because it’s sitting funny with me. Forced as in commanded by some controlling eejit who thinks they’ve got a say over what I drape over this…

    Daily Writing Prompt: How important is spirituality in your life? Spirituality’s always been one of those things I’ve felt more than defined. I believe in a higher power, whether it’s God, the Universe, my Higher Self, or some version of all three having a laugh at my expense some days. I believe in the things…

    Daily Prompt: How do you practice self-care? Easy. I do whatever the hell feels right. Some days that’s a walk in the woods, letting the wind remind me I’m alive. Other days it’s hiding from humans, drinking cold coffee in my dressing gown while ignoring every message that dares light up my phone. My golden…

    Daily Writing Prompt? How do you waste the most time every day? This is a deceptively tricky question because it depends on how you define wasted. They say time is precious, but who decides how it should be spent? Reflect on what others might call ‘wasting time’ in your day. Is it wasted if it…

    Daily Prompt: Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? For me, it’s Granny Frass’s real food. The kind you yanked straight outta the ground, gave a half-hearted shake to get the dirt off, and into the pot it went. No labels, no expiry dates, and if a worm popped out, well,…

    Who is your favorite historical figure? First thought: Joan of Arc.Something about her has always stayed with me. A young girl claiming to hear divine voices, standing up to kings, leading armies, and refusing to back down in a world built to silence women like her. She had guts, conviction, and a sense of purpose…

    Daily Writing Prompt: What countries do you want to visit? I nearly binned this prompt. Travel lists bore me stiff. “Top 10 Places You Simply Must See Before You Die.” Says who? Half of them look like a heatstroke and a credit card bill waiting to happen. I don’t chase postcard-perfect spots. I chase ghosts.…

    Daily Writing Prompt: What’s your favorite thing about yourself? Well now… there’s a question to make you squirm before breakfast. I sat with it for a minute. Tried to come up with something charming or impressive. Thought about saying my long, sarcastic inner monologue or my ability to spot a liar at fifty paces. But…

  • Daily Writing Prompt: How do you want to retire?

    This one’s a bit tricky for me, because truth be told, I’ve never really pictured myself retiring. Not in the traditional sense, anyway. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent so much of my life caring for others, where the idea of stopping, of stepping out of a role, feels foreign. When you’ve been a long-term carer,…

    Daily Writing Prompt… The oldest thing I use daily is my intuition. It’s older than time, older than any book or heirloom you could hold in your hand. It’s that quiet voice in my gut, that nudge in the chest when something feels off, that warmth in my bones when it’s right. It’s been with…
