Writing Prompts & Journaling

I've planned a Writing Vacation today and I thought I would share some writing prompts I found online in case you want to jumpstart your own Writing or Journaling Vacation.

From A Writer's Workbook:
Describe the following in a short a paragraph.
1. a circle
2. a spiral staircase
3. the color red
4. the smell of a barbecue

Shut it down & Put it to bed

So life seems to always come at me all at once. It seems to never fail that I manage to schedule a whole bunch of responsibilities at the same time. I have a calendar and I check it before I commit to anything but somehow I end up with weeks where my hours are packed with meetings and tasks.

Last week was one of those weeks. I won't bore you with details. I'm amazed I got through it. But I did learn something very important that will help me in my own Sane & Satisfied journey. A lot of my stress comes from not feeling like I finish anything. I think this feeling has stemmed from the fact that I just have too many ideas and it's hard to finish one idea before moving on to the next. But lately I've realized that this unfinished feeling also comes from me not putting anything to bed at the end of my work day.
