Find your inspiration
What are you passionate about? What stories have stayed with you? Just wanted to send some writing inspiration into the world. There’s a million things to write about, and that’s exactly what slows me down. If I can refocus and remember why I’m writing (which is more challenging than it sounds), maybe it will helpContinue reading “Find your inspiration”

Latest Creative Project
I’m having so much fun turning my desk calendar into a “junk journal.” I just learned what this is and I had to dig my old scrapbooking stuff out and give it a try.

Ableist, What is it and What Does it have to Do with Writing?

Ableism characterizes people as they are defined by their disabilities and it also classifies disabled people as people who are inferior to non-disabled people. -Wikipedia As a writer, I have seen a lot of ableism and in the past I have shrunkContinue reading “Ableist, What is it and What Does it have to Do with Writing?”
Called?
What do you feel called to do? I have been thinking lately that I’m called to do a variety of things. I have a spiritual calling and that trumps all. Then there’s community/collective support calling like called to service and leadership. And then I think everyone has a creative calling. I think that we feelContinue reading “Called?”
