Hi Riley! First of all - all the best to your big kids out at college - what a feat and it's a bit of an emotional ride! Congrats on the badge -- you so well deserve it!

Missed you and was happy to see the notification of your publication! Sometimes I just do a writing for me to get out some thoughts and feelings, and I let it rip without worrying if others will read. Some of those drafts are just for me and the exercise of writing. Others will eventually be prompts I return to and rehash. A great tip I heard at a seminar -- come up with 10 headlines - don't overthink it, just come up as quickly as possible with any headline that comes to mind. Typically one of those can end up being a good article/story/essay to write about! Lots of prompts in here...A Taste For Life (Jason Edmunds) -- provides some really reflexive ones that can help you with ideas as well. I'm sure there are many others!

keep well! Have a wonderful Sunday!
