Today I was taken back to a moment in time that left me feeling blissful and inspired.

Inspired to Just write…

I love it when that happens.

The odd thing is that I have no idea what triggered this memory. It was a fall day, and I was outside walking in the cool air — unlike the wintery weather here today.

The soft wind was blowing the colorful leaves into small cyclones.

I was wearing my favorite green jacket. It was an overstuffed sweatshirt-like hoodie with deep pockets to keep my hands warm.

There was nothing special about this day.

I had my hair up in a French braid. A hairstyle I often wore when I was a teenager, and later when I was a waitress — since I couldn’t wear my long blonde hair down while serving food.

The memory was joyful.

I could feel the wind against my face. It felt peaceful and soft.

It was a cloudy evening as the dusk slowly turned into night. I was walking slowly, enjoying the peace and quiet, probably on my way home from a friend’s house.

In reality, the sun is shining here. The wind is crisp, and it’s a balmy twenty degrees outside. Fahrenheit. It’s cold.

So it was fun to relive that distant memory.

This got me thinking…

How a sound, a smell, a picture, or simply a vision from the depths of our soul can bring back a memory worth sharing.

It doesn’t have to be a big idea or some life-changing advice.

Just a little something you want to share.

I’d like to challenge you. To think of a time when you felt complete bliss. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion, a holiday, or a life-changing event.

Just a moment in time when you felt joyful and at peace.

Then — Just write.

P.S.
I’ve decided to challenge myself to 30 days of writing. As I too need to be reminded sometimes to — Just write. I’ve personally created 30 writing prompts to inspire you, myself — and anyone who wants to join me — to be creative and have fun writing.

For 30 days, I’ll be sending an email at 6 am EST to keep you inspired to write during the challenge. Each day, you’ll receive a new writing prompt to write about that day.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 5 minutes of writing or 5 hours. That part’s up to you. The idea is to form a real life-changing habit — that can change the way you write — forever.

The best part?

It’s less than $1 a day to join. :)

Your small one-time investment of only $27 will deliver your daily prompts, inspiration — from me personally — and a few cool writing tips along the way.
