Possession Loss

Daily writing prompt
What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

What would I do? I’d sit on the beach, pray, listen to and enjoy the sound and beauty of the ocean and wonder what happened. Then I’d get up, live in the present, and move on.

Change of Mind (Topics/Issues)

Daily writing prompt
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

There isn’t. In thinking about this, I found it difficult to find a topic or an issue where I’ve changed my mind. If anything, I’ve dug my heels in more instead of changing my mind. To the angst of some people around me.

I will say, though, that I have changed my mind about some people. To be clear, they weren’t as nasty as I previously thought. The opposite of that is also true. There were those I thought to be upstanding, then found they really weren’t. Wow, how the curtain goes up and reveals all the ‘players’ and motivations behind the actions. It’s mind blowing. I learned from these insights and revelations though, and that’s the important part.

Dive In by L. M. Montes

Dive in, to the words,
paint them using your mind
as they travel through your eyes,
plummet down your neck,
across to each shoulder,
float along your arms
to fingertips,
brushing their way across
paper and screen,
and morphing  stories
from idea to creative means.

A Skill I’d Like to Learn

Daily writing prompt
What skill would you like to learn?

I would have to go with marketing. Since I’ve published my books, I have learned quite a bit in way of marketing them, but I could know more. It isn’t easy, but it’s a fun process to learn. One of the best perks about it is meeting new people. So, if you are new to this blog and reading my material for the first time, like, share, and follow. Welcome!!! It’s nice to have you here.

Tomorrow’s Priority

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Getting out of bed. If no one makes that a priority, how do we live our lives? Seriously though, Jesus is my number 1 priority.

Hardwork

Cultural Heritage

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

I’m proud of where I came from. My roots go back to Russia. My paternal grandfather was Russian, a Cossak, and a story for another time. My grandmother was German. There’s a story there, too, but for another time.
