On NOT feeling like a grownup

By Laurel Regan
This month I celebrated my 47th birthday - that's right, 47 big ones - but you know what? I still don't feel like a grownup. Yep. I'm knock-knock-knockin' on 50's door - the half-century mark, a concept that sometimes makes me choke a little - yet I don't ACTUALLY feel like a grownup. I realized this odd phenomenon awhile back, and tried to put some of my thoughts about it into writing: ...more

Just write

By Laurel Regan
Inspired by the concept of "Morning Pages" from Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" (see my previous post for details), I've been working on developing a daily writing habit - three pages, longhand, no holds barred. Just write. It's fast becoming an addiction! ...more

By Karen Ballum

By amplifier
Yes, I know, it's been awhile. But I've been too busy not reading, not watching TV, not surfing the internet (as much), and not listening to music with lyrics (which nearly KILLED me). At least for one of those weeks, anyway. What was I doing instead? Here's just a sample of the many alternate activities in which I involved myself: * Knitting (Actually, I unwound a skein of yarn, managed to get it tangled, spent nearly 3 hours untangling it, knitted 2 rows of a project, realized I'd messed up already, undid it and put the whole mess back in the basket.) ...more
