  • The flavor of love #reverb10

    I’ve eaten a lot of great food over the years. That is probably pretty evident in my size. This fat guy likes to eat. That’s why when I read the reverb10 prompt for today, I thought, well that’ll be easy. Soul food: what did you eat this year that you’ll never forget? What went into […]

  • A simple image – #Reverb10

    Photo – a present to yourself. Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words. Share the image, who shot it, where, and what it best […]

  • #Reverb10 probably saved my life

    My emotions are like a super powered roller coaster. Everything’s OK. What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be alright? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead? – Kate Inglis Generally, my response to any situation is panic. For me, panic is a […]

  • So many names #Reverb10

    I am known by many names… This morning, I took a perfectly straight forward prompt: Prompt: New name. Let’s meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why? – [amazon_link id=”1550229338″ target=”_blank” ]Becca Wilcott[/amazon_link] and made it about […]

  • Lots of hats, no real hair #Reverb10

    I’m going bald. I’m not quite there yet, but I’m starting to give Billy Crystal a challenge in the forehead department, and I can actually watch my hair thinning in the mirror. Its not really something that bothers me too much. I used to joke that I would just let my hair keep growing, and […]

  • A New Car named Désirée #Reverb10

    Recently, I bought a new car. Before November 28th of this year, I had never owned a new car. I have been fortunate enough in my life to own newer cars. I learned to drive, and subsequently inherited a 1995 Dodge Intrepid, that somehow ended up with the nickname “The Epoch,” like the time ship […]

  • I might be avoiding the issue #Reverb10

    When I first read today’s prompt: Future self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?) I was torn. The majority of my current work on self improvement has […]

  • “I’m not Ready” #Reverb10

    “I’m Not Ready” Three words I’ve used a lot this year. Three words I’ve clung to as an easy excuse for avoiding letting go of the past. Three words I’ve used to avoid accepting the present. Three words I’ve used to push off the future. One phrase that I’m striking from my vocabulary. The truth […]

  • Time is medicine, Family is Life Support #Reverb10

    Time heals all wounds Its something we’ve heard our entire lives. Its the advice we’re given when things happen we aren’t ready to handle. We scoff, lost in the moment of darkness that has clung to our hearts, and ignore it. Instead, we focus on the pain and frustration, dragging through life one day at […]

  • I don’t believe in Bucket Lists – #Reverb10

    We all have goals to aspire too We all have things we want to do We all have a list in our mind, maybe even written out, of what we want to do before we die. Some of us plan our lives out so well that we have lists of what we want to do […]
