Spring Break Top Ten Resolutions!

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers.

I'm going to be completely honest. It's Thursday night and I am currently co-moderating a Twitter chat (shhh, don't tell I slipped over here for a moment!) and worried I won't think of anything to write.

I notice a tweet with a slice of life post by Beth called Spring Break Resolutions. It's a great post, you should stop over and read it! This idea is all her idea...I'm just adding my twist to it.

One more day of school and spring break is upon us. No trips this year. I've decided to get some things done, but when my plans stay so vague...nothing ever gets accomplished. I'm going to make a top ten list of resolutions for my spring break to help me out. Here we go...

10. Finish my taxes
9. Clean OUT my garage
8. Read a book a day (I've always tried it & never done it!) 
7. Do something FUN and NEW each day.
6. Write everyday (Blogging will take care of that, but I'd like to push it more.)
5. Purge closets
4. Clean out cabinets & pantry
3. Paint or craft 
2. Meet friends for lunch
1. Take long walks with Bella

I have some "chores" mixed in with treats. Suggestions for other resolutions?!?! Now to make a tentative schedule...that helps me. If you have your spring break next week, I hope you have lots of fun! Take care of yourself!

    Wow, that's a full list, friend! I am so jealous your break begins next week. I have one more week then it's my turn. Can't wait! Looking forward to seeing your progress next week, especially with #9 (since winter is over now!) :)

    That is a busy list! It would take me all of spring break to clean out my closet, ha! My own break is coming to a close, and today is tax day; sigh.

    This looks like a perfect list! I've been trying to manage a little self care with a little hard work as well. I'm signing off now to go work on school! Enjoy your well-earned break! Wishing you the best!

    I like number seven a lot, Michelle. Don't forget that one! I'm sure you'll also do numbers six and one, too! Enjoy every bit no matter what you do.

    I need to do lots of things on your list! I will likely get to NONE of them though! Except the writing part. And maybe the lunch with a friend. None of the productive stuff!!

    I would keep it light. The more things you add, the more guilty you'll feel when you can't get to most of it. Just breathe more...

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
