Ahhh Paris … the city of love, art and architecture.
A beautiful city to wander in, exploring cobblestone streets and centuries old buildings. A place where old and new stand side by side.
What do you think of in relation to Paris? The Eiffel Tower? The Louvre? A big crowded city?
Take 5 minutes to write about what you would like to do in Paris, or why you never want to go.
Set your timer and ready … set … write!
Is there a place you’ve dreamed of? A place you would love to go but have never been able to for one reason or another?

I love going to the local grocery store and looking at all of the magazines they have for sale. There’s just something about the glossy pictures, short but relevant articles and physical page turning that you just don’t get online.
In fact, I still subscribe to a couple of physical magazines – and though I may switch up which I subscribe to, I think I will always have one or two come in the mail – for nostalgia if nothing else.
What about you? Do you enjoy the feel of a magazine in your hand? Do you like flipping through the pages? Or is an online magazine more your style?
Set your timer for 5 min and write about what you like or don’t like about magazines. Or start with that and go wherever your mind takes you.
If you’d like to share, put it in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.

As we near the end of March (which is also Nutrition Month here in the US), I thought it would be a good time to reflect on what changes you would like to make in what or how much you eat.
For me, though I eat a pretty healthy diet, eating at healthier times and limiting sugar is a constant issue and one I am focusing on right now.
What about you? Are there changes you would like to make in your nutrition? Take a few minutes to write about them.

I walk over to my sink and get a glass of water. I don’t even think about it or worry about whether it is safe – unless it smells or tastes too much like chlorine. Then I am likely to complain or grab the filter to get rid of the bad flavor … but I know it is safe. The likelihood of having contaminated water here in the states is very low and if it happens, a bulletin goes out from the local health department to let everyone know to boil before drinking.
Unfortunately, safe water is not available to everyone. The CDC estimates that 2 BILLION people are without access to safe water. That’s billion – with a B. World Water Day is to raise awareness about the importance of clean water and how access to it can improve the lives of those currently living without it.
So for today’s writing session, write about all of the ways water impacts your life. Do you have access to clean water? It’s definitely something to be thankful for. Then, if time allows, write about how access to fresh water could change the life of someone who currently lacks access.
Are you ready? Set your timer and ready … set … write!

Dreams are what help us see a better future … better for us, our family, or maybe our country or the world.
Dreaming allows our imagination to explore things we may have previously thought impossible.
What are your dreams? The ones you’re afraid to even tell yourself?
Use your free writing time to explore them and write them down. It will help make them real.
Are you ready? Set your timers and ready … set … write!
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?
I can’t say we ever did much more than wear green and pinch anyone who didn’t, but every year we made sure to “celebrate” with green.
What about you? How do you celebrate this day? Or if not, what do you think of all of us who do – in some form or another?

In January 2020 I had the opportunity to visit Rome. It was unlike any other place I have visited – from the 800 year old fountain across the street to the almost 2000 year old Colosseum and 2700 year old ruins of the Roman Forum.
Then, a couple of weeks after we returned home, Rome went on lockdown. People were sick and dieing by the hundreds. Yet it was the same city we had just left.
It seemed unreal. We were in shock, hoping those people we had met were safe yet knowing that they likely could not escape some impact.
What about you? What were you doing in January of 2020 before life changed? How did your life change in the following weeks and months?
Okay. Set your timer for 5 minutes; then ready … set … write!
Hey there!
Have you ever heard of National Oreo Day? Well apparently that is today. I love Oreos. They are one of my favorite store-bought cookies. But a national day? I guess almost anything can have its own day now.
What do you think? Do Oreos deserve a national (or worldwide) day? Although, I’ve heard it said that Oreos in Europe do not taste the same as Oreos in the US. Not sure about other countries, but if you don’t like them, they may not be the same as the little round bits of yumminess that we have here in the US.
Anyway, set your timer and write about Oreos, or National Days, or whatever your heart desires.
Ready – Set – Write!
