Sundays for the Soul: Get Ready

Ruth Ayres5 Comments

Last Monday I wrote something on a whim...in a blog post...about offering a writing prompt. Your responses have had me thinking all week. Thoughts like this: Can I offer worthy prompts? Can I offer worthy prompts multiple times? What if it isn't worthy to anyone but me? And things like this: Do I believe in prompting… Continue reading Sundays for the Soul: Get Ready

Sundays for the Soul: Serendipity

Ruth Ayres5 Comments

Serendipity. Go ahead, say it aloud: serendipity. I love the way this word bumps out of my mouth. It's a favorite word of mine, not just because of the way it sounds, but also because of what it means. The meaning I prefer is: the phenomenon of finding valuable things not sought for. Serendipity is… Continue reading Sundays for the Soul: Serendipity

Sundays for the Soul: Together We Can End Modern Day Slavery

Ruth Ayres5 Comments

Did you know most of the world's chocolate is made from cocoa beans picked by workers who do not receive a fair wage? Sometimes the workers are children and they are hurt if they don't work fast enough. Other times the workers are not paid at all, making them slaves. With Valentine's Day a little more than a… Continue reading Sundays for the Soul: Together We Can End Modern Day Slavery

Happy Writers Society

I stumbled across Natalie Whipple's blog, Between Fact and Fiction, and am a better writer because of it. I appreciate her straightforward, genuine way of looking the hard stuff of writing straight in the eye and then being brave enough to peel back the layers of emotions and write about it.

She wasn't going to be at school and instead of canceling workshop or writing the lessons in the sub plans, she wrote directly to her students. (Just one more reason to host a class blog.)  The lesson is one that is… Continue reading Sundays for the Soul: Write to Feel Better

Sundays are Good for Your Soul

Ruth Ayres7 Comments

I love Sundays. (You know, I could say this about almost any day of the week.) The reason I love Sundays is because they slow down a little, at least around my house. We tend to stay home a little more on Sundays than the rest of the week. So I've been thinking how to… Continue reading Sundays are Good for Your Soul
