Outlet Shopping…
I’ll bet you do some creative thing each day that brings something new or improved into your world. My friends who throw pots have homes filled with clay creations.

In my morning writing group, one writer encouraged another who was slogging through a dry patch by suggesting she just write one line. That’s all. One line.

Lace ’em Up…
We know to put important things first, even when they are not the most fun, like exercise. If I put it off, or don’t add it to my daily list, it’s often past a decent bedtime before I remember. Then what? There’s always tomorrow. Or the next day. See what happens there? One forgotten link…
