A Challenge to my Friends

    Two days ago I went to my home town to my dentist, and when I came home I wrote about some of the deepest pieces that make up 'my life.'   After I wrote that, I recieved wonderful  awesome responses.

     Yesterday I wrote another piece from a different time, and it got taken by the ghouls of gather.  I could not find it.  It was not a difficult piece emotionally however I had begun to get sick yesterday and when that disappeared, one adage I live by is: there must be a reason.  Today, I woke up sick and a headache, and my body feels as though it ran a marathon, puttered out, was shocked back into existance and then rolled home in a barrell.  I have been reading a book by the Rev. Deborah Johnston, of the Church of Inner Light, in Santa Cruz.  My son intro duced me to Deborah, and I also had the opportunity to go to the services.  Deborah sent her first book to me which I read when ever I am feeling a need for spiritual support.

     I opened the book and came to, Feel, Deal and Heal.  One section talked about how our bodies are also effected by the pain we hold and when we let it go, we will feel uncomfortable and perhaps sick.  So I said to myself, "AHA!  Time to Heal for a bit before I go digging again." 

     I came up with a plan.  I need to keep writing, but I do want to stay away from my immediate and past life for a bit.  Over a week ago, Lune W. had written after reading a piece on horses that I'd written, that she was not interested in horses but really liked my article.  She went on to say 'I bet you could make a recipe' interesting.'   I took her up on that and wrote a piece called 'Recipe'  which was a bit nontraditional, but I had a great time writing it.

     Thus I need another challenge; imagined or real.  Lune didn't really challenge me to write a recipe' but I found it to be a good one, since I am domestically handicapped. lol. 

      I ask any of you who know my writings to throw out there a topic.  Not a topic that requires me going back to school, or to do research, but something simple to see if I can make an article about it and make it interesting.  Then i will have topics I can pull from and blame on the one who sent it, when I need something other than pain to write about.

     So how about it people....think of this as a game.  Give me a one or two word topic that is as interesting as toast without butter, and see what I do.  The challenge is on you.
