March reminded me I'm busy. March reminded me ordinary days are my passion. March reminded me to let go of unrealistic expectations. March reminded me to breathe.… Continue reading March Reminded Me (Ruth’s SOLS)

Found Poetry (Ruth’s SOLS)

Wednesday March 30, 2011Wednesday March 30, 2011 Ruth Ayres20 Comments

So this slice is found poetry. "Found" in the sense that I'm completely swiping Ruth Metcalfe's idea because she "found" a poem in her iPod today. Then she told me about it and sent me a text and it sounded so fun I decided to try it too. Since her excitement was inspiration, I thought… Continue reading Found Poetry (Ruth’s SOLS)

The World Needs You (Ruth’s SOLS)

Tuesday March 29, 2011 Ruth Ayres15 Comments

A few days ago I read this line: The world needs more people being themselves. You know, it's easy to get caught up in wanting to be more like this person or wishing to be more like that person. It's easy to think, if only I could be like that slicer. Or if only I… Continue reading The World Needs You (Ruth’s SOLS)

Uh-Oh (Ruth’s SOLS)

Sunday March 27, 2011 Ruth Ayres18 Comments

I just started reading a new YA novel. And I'm hooked. For a normal person this wouldn't be a problem. For me it is detrimental. See when I'm hooked, like I'm hooked with this book, I keep reading and reading and reading. Laundry needs folded. I read instead. My lunch needs packed. I read instead.… Continue reading Uh-Oh (Ruth’s SOLS)

Morning Love (Ruth’s SOLS)

Saturday March 26, 2011 Ruth Ayres13 Comments

I love to get up early on Saturday mornings. When Stacey and I were working on the book it was a habit I developed. I could score a few hours on Saturday morning for writing which didn't steal from family time. Now, a year after the book was complete, I still find myself getting up… Continue reading Morning Love (Ruth’s SOLS)
