The A-Z of Depth
This year’s theme for everything I’m doing on Experience Writing is Depth, so for this year’s daily posts in April I’ll be exploring the A-Z of Depth, and writing daily poems for Poetry Month about the A-Z of Depth. The word depth has many different and interesting meanings which I presented in my post “OurContinue reading “The A-Z of Depth”
5 Steps to Deeper Discovery
Today we’re celebrating breaking through the barricades that stop us from deeper self-discovery. In this year’s theme post I wrote, depth takes time. It isn’t forced or rushed.

Yesterday, at my parents’ house after attending a family friend’s memorial, I glanced through a bookshelf in my childhood bedroom that my parents keep insisting wasContinue reading “I’m Thankful for Some Fun”
Find the Joy in Grief and the Hope in Despair
I thought I was exhausted from Writober, but it turned out I just needed the election to be over, or perhaps both. I unplugged yesterday, and didn’t peek at the results until kitty was curled up next to me, I had delicious baked plums to fill my empty belly, and cocoa-coffee to wash it down.Continue reading “Find the Joy in Grief and the Hope in Despair”
