Day Twenty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 27: Motivational Monday poem Birthed from a natural home The rosebud makes an entrance With care from the sun, rain, and green thumb The flower known as delicate Can defend itself The thorns guard the petals From those who might cause harm While vivid colors and vibrant aromas Enhance the surroundings Flowers bloom asContinue reading “Day Twenty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”
Day Twenty-Six of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 26: Journaling My foray into writing began over twenty-five years ago as journaling. I was a shy, people-pleasing pre-teen who didn’t like conflict. Sidenote: I still don’t like conflict.
