Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life |
HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"  , "The Soundtrack of Your Life" , "Blogging Circle of Friends " , "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" and, well, LIFE.    |
Day 3221: September 8, 2021 Prompt: “Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Use this quote to inspire you blog entry or describe autumn where you live. Second Summer has settled upon us, the slightest of reprieves from the Texas heat. Rumors of cooler weather reach us from the North, but our respite hinges on the whims of the weather and blows away just as quickly. We know that fall has begun. There has been an increase in wind and skeins of geese can be observed flying overhead, headed to their wintering lands. They leave piles of droppings to mark where they landed for rest and drink. The leaves are beginning to show a tinge of yellow around their edges and hints of fungi can be smelled wafting in the ever present wind, promises of more to come. Stores have begun to set out their fall and Halloween wares; the candy an enticement to my sweet-tooth, the decorations showing us how Autumn looks elsewhere. We'll get to that point, eventually; right before Winter sets in. Word Count: 196 |
PROMPT September 8th A practice I can begin to help me let go of negative emotions and return to a state of peace is… I have learned and now use many techniques for letting go of negative energy and emotions. There are a few which work best for me such as music and dancing, writing and other forms of art, cleaning, prayer, and hugging a tree (and other forms of meditation). That's right hugging a tree. Grounding is a great way to allow negative energies to flow out from you into the ground below, while nature's calming presence replaces those negativities with a sense of well being. It doesn't really have to be a tree. You can sit or lay on the ground and the earth works just as well as a tree. But, in grounding, visualization is highly important. You have to visualize those negatives flowing out of you and into the ground or tree, while also visualizing the calming influences of nature pouring into you, replacing the bad vibes. Who knows? Maybe it's all in my mind, but it works so I do it. What's that old adage? - Don't knock it 'till you've tried it. Word Count: 197 |
