ANNOUNCEMENTS

Orange Slice Logo for Slice of Life Story Challenge
Write. Share. Give.
  • Today is Multi-Lit Friday. We encourage you to craft your slice-of-life story in another language today.

BE INSPIRED

Giovanna Panzera is a first-year Slicer whose story, “Sewing Seams,” invites us to look beyond the surface and write bravely. Giovanna’s narrative isn’t just about making a parka; it’s about showing her messy seams—the doubts, the imperfect stitches, the moments of loneliness and hope. As writers, her post encourages us to bring vulnerability to our own stories: to share not just our polished exteriors but also the hidden work and real emotions beneath. Let “Sewing Seams” remind you that the heart of a story often lies in the details we’re tempted to hide. Today or over the weekend, consider writing a slice that reveals the imperfect, honest moments that make your voice real.

    1. Hi Leigh Anne! I couldn’t seem to leave a comment on your sight, but this is what AI says: Waking Up Potted Calla Lilies If you overwintered your calla lilies in their original containers, follow these steps starting in late winter or early spring (typically late February to early March): Inspect and Refresh: Remove any remaining dried-up foliage. If the plant has been in the same pot for several years, consider repotting it into fresh, well-draining soil to provide new nutrients. Gradual Warming: Move the pot from its cool storage location to a bright spot at room temperature, ideally between 60°F and 75°F (15°C–24°C). Controlled Watering: Begin watering sparingly at first. Do not saturate the soil immediately, as this can cause the dormant rhizome to rot before it starts growing. Increase Light: Place the pot near a sunny window that receives bright, indirect light.

      Hope this helps! They are beautiful flowers!
