for the days when you feel worthless {day 18 :: worth}
Worth. Those five letters are enough to make us sort of cringe up inside of ourselves and cocoon away for a season, aren't they? We're bombarded from every side by media, society and culture telling us in shouts and whispers that we need to be more, do more, look...
what do you have to offer? {day 17 :: offer}
I think this prompt is one of my favorites. Maybe it's because it reminds me of the writers' conference I just attended last weekend. To say the conference was motivating and inspiring would be an understatement. In the final address, keynote speaker Stephen James...

do we make a run for it, or wait it out? {day 12 :: storm}
Several years ago, my husband, kids and I were making the 10-hour trek from Cape Town to Kimberley, South Africa. We were somewhere in the vast expanse of the Karoo when fast-moving, dark clouds threatened from behind. As providence would have it, we needed to stop...
when you have a burden that needs to be lifted {day 11 :: rest}
I love my sleep. Especially in the mornings. I don't mind staying up late at night, but give me my mornings. I love sleep, but I'm not very good at resting. If I'm awake, I'm busy. If it's not this, it's that. I'm just plain not very good at sitting still....
