A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just begins
to live that day.
– Emily Dickinson

Fifth Tuesday Challenge!
Yes, it’s less than two weeks away . . . September 29. Members of both our writing groups plus friends and spouses will gather for good times and good food at Panera’s on University Avenue at our usual start time of 7 p.m. This is an order-off-the-menu event. Second-and-fourth hosts.
The writing challenge . . . write something EXTREME, a poem, essay, or short short story. You define what extreme is. The word limit is 250. When you have your mini-masterpiece finished, email a copy to Ruth Imhoff, (email) toastedfroglegs@yahoo.com

Build a Lasting Journaling Practice: 14 Days Journaling Challenge

The Build a Lasting Journaling Practice in 14 Days Challenge workbook you use in the challenge will help you kickstart your journaling and make it a valuable part of your daily life.

Daily journaling exercises will inspire and energize you to set and reach your goals toward happiness, health and fulfillment. And over the course of two weeks, you’ll learn to use all the tools and techniques you need to build a lifelong journaling practice.

As you work your way through the daily journaling exercises, you’ll also discover the many powerful rewards journaling brings: reduced stress, improved relationships, increased clarity and creativity. Once you take this first step in your journaling journey, you’ll have the skills and motivation you need to keep going on your own!

In the 14 Days Journaling Challenge, you’ll:
• Find your personal journaling style
• Build writing habits you’ll want to keep up
• Overcome common challenges
• Get to know yourself better
• Relieve stress and have more fun
• Nurture your physical, mental and spiritual health
