It’s Tuesday! That means it’s time for Slice of Life on #TWTBlog.
As your host for August’s Slice of Life Tuesdays, I have enjoyed sharing a little inspiration—or an idea to tuck away for another day—each Tuesday! Tina Boogren (author of Take Time for You: Self-Care Action Plans for Educators) calls the beginning of each school year “The Season of Sacrifice.” What are the hallmarks of the Season for you? Are there things you let go of? Things you hold tighter to? Watch this quick video to connect in the spirit of the Season:
As always, craft a slice of life story (in any form)—based on the idea above or something else—share a link in the comments section below, and read and comment on the slices of at least three others.
Write. Share. Give.
We are so glad you are here! Thank you for being a part of our amazing community of writers.

As if the first day of school wasn’t enough drama, I faced a dilemma that left me wondering what is next. Note: I don’t give specifics in this post, but elude to difficult decision with a lot at stake. https://friendswithoutid.wordpress.com/2022/08/23/lights-and-shadows/

This blog post about my summer travels is without a doubt my longest. It took a while to write but I decided to capture the entire trip in one post. Perhaps you’ll open it for the photos or read about places that interest you. Either way, I felt strongly that I needed to capture this experience with more than the words “It was amazing.” So here it is…
