It’s Tuesday! Join us for the Slice of Life Story Challenge!
Welcome to the Slice of Life Story Challenge.
Write your post. Share it with the community. Comment on at least three other posts.
This month, I have collected some quotes from Toni Morrison to inspire us. Some of them come from a 1993 interview in The Paris Review. If you have time, the entire interview is well-worth reading!
Our weekly slices give us the opportunities and nudges to practice and practice and practice, even if it doesn’t look effortless and graceful!

Hi Alice!
I’ve tried leaving two comments, but they’re not showing up. Are your comment settings open?
Thank you Stacey. They are open, I got both comments. It’s the moderation. I guess the setting isn’t sending commenters that message. Thanks for letting me know.
Such a beautiful description 😊
