Fast forward to the very end of September a few days ago and I suddenly got the urge to challenge myself and exercise my writing brain. So I began a VERY BIG LEARNING process and started in on the 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes project for some inspiration and a kick in the pants to just write something, anything each day. Then a few days in to this I learned about the Write 31 Days project to write every day on a specific theme. So I linked up to that, too, and chose to write on "31 Days to Slowing Down and Living More Simply" because I am working through Emily P. Freeman's book "Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast Moving World."
It has been so much fun, taking the prompts from the FMFW project and writing my reflections based on the material in "Simply Tuesday." Often my writing takes me in a completely different direction than I anticipated, but it always challenges me to think more deeply about life, develop those thoughts more fully, and be careful to be authentic as I share part of myself with the world. Well, with the handful of people who read any of this. :)
So below are links to each day of the project and inside those links are some very unedited thoughts that I hope will bless someone and honor the One who made me with a drive to think deeply and process verbally.
