30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT March 3rd
If you could be paid for doing anything you wanted full time, what would you do? When you were a child, what did you dream of doing when you grew up? Then, take some time to research “unconventional” jobs (ie. hot air balloonist, deep sea invertebrate researcher, professional table tennis master, etc) and share one that you think you would be good at or would be fun to try.


I am a simple person. I wanted to be a teacher and a writer. I try to do both of those, but both are influx. I supply teach and though I have a long term occasional position in a Autism classroom that I love, I know it is only temporary.

As a kid, I had thoughts of being a marine biology and working at the Vancouver Aquarium. I was not crazy about swimming in the wide open ocean with sharks. They are the bees of the sea. I am terrified of bees... and sharks. That put a damper on my interest, but working at an aquarium would have been great.

I am also intrigued by the people who do those travel shows. That would be exciting. Think of it writing and travelling. So cool.

These are a few of the sites I checked out. June of 2021 my Goddaughter is getting married in England, that might be the perfect opportunity to do some traveling and checking out some writing retreats across the pond. Who knows I will be able to write about my adventures and maybe even get them published.

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT March 2nd
Write about the practice of making lists. Does list-making stifle creativity, or enhance it? When working on a big project, does making a list help organize your thinking, or cause you to feel more overwhelmed? Are you a habitual list maker, and if so, what do you list?


I love this prompt. I have a wicked COLD right now and was not able to function with words last night. I am kicking myself that I blew the challenge so early in the month. I managed a couple of things, but not having made a list I forgot one thing.... and will have to restart my monthly challenge on Novlr all over again.

Lists are a God-send. They keep me on track and help me break big projects down into smaller more manageable chunks. They keep the overwhelm at bay and let me breath a little easier.

They also help me remember to get things done or I will more than likely forget to do something. If I only do the list in my head, I always forget one thing. I need to write the list down. Writing a list out helps to set it in my mind and I love checking off things as I accomplish them.

I keep a bullet journal which allows me to make lists and graphs and charts of things I deem important. I track my habits and my weight. I have 'take my blood pressure' medication on the list because I have been known to forget to do that on occasion.
