Daily Prompt; What Olympic Sports Do You Enjoy Watching the Most?
This is a great topic especially since the 2024 Summer Olympics just ended. If I were to pick an Olympic sport that I enjoy watching it would be a tie between Track & Field and Gymnastics. Track & Field I love to watch as I was in track & field in high school. I wasn’t any good and usually came in last and occasionally second to last. My dad was in track & field and he was great in the sport. My grandpa was on the track & field team at Washington State University. He was awesome. I enjoy watching gymnastics because it fascinates me with their abilities. Abilities I never had and appreciate others being able to do gymnastics.
Daily Prompt; Do You Have Any Collections?
Yes, I do have collections. I have a handful of collections however I am going to discuss my favorite collection. My favorite collection happens to be my Wonder Woman comic book collection. It began when I was in kindergarten learning to read that my dad started so I could have an interest in reading and have it be fun. See, my dad has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and lost his ability to read and he remembers that he enjoyed reading and wanted to make sure I enjoyed it as well especially since I had been diagnosed with Dyslexia. Since comic books have pictures in them my dad thought it would be great but my dad was a single dad and wanted me to have something to inspire me to be a strong woman so he chose Wonder Woman comic books. Having Wonder Woman comic books as a child helped me learn how to read as well as continue the love of reading. As I grew into a teenager it helped me gain friends and a sense of belonging. A sense of belonging that has lasted well into adulthood. I love my dad so much for starting my Wonder Woman comic book collection as it helped me learn to read as well as the unexpected yet positive affects it had on my life.
Daily Prompt; What Activities Do You Lose Yourself In?
I can lose myself in multiple activities. One activity I can lose myself in is reading. I can spend hours on end reading and have stayed up all night doing so. I love to read and love the fact that I can lose myself in stories I cannot fathom but enjoy getting wrapped up in the books I read.
Another activity I lose myself in is artwork. Specifically coloring or rock painting. I can spend hours doing both. I love doing both especially when I listen to music or a podcast. Losing myself in artwork while listening to music or a podcast is something I tend to do when the weather is bad outside.
Daily Prompt; Describe One Positive Change You Have Made In Your Life?
A positive change I made in my life was when I went I decided to go into a two outpatient Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) program. I went into this program because I needed some help learning new skills to help with my emotional and verbal outburst as well as my self harming behavior and multiple suicide attempts. At first I was extremely wary of it however I am beyond grateful that I went through this DBT program and graduated from it. This was the second major adult decision I made for myself and my recovery. The first major adult decision I made was when I went to Mercy Ministries (now Mercy Multiplied) like I described in yesterday’s Daily Prompt post. Going into the DBT program was one of the most important decisions I made in my life and I am grateful for it as it helped me make bettered decisions in my life.
Daily Prompt; Describe a Decision You Made In The Past That Helped You Learn or Grow.
Daily writing prompt
Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
I think one decision that helped me a great deal to learn and grow was when I was twenty years old. It was the first major decision I made as an adult and I don’t regret it however if I were to have to make the decision now at forty-five I would not make the same decision. When I was twenty I considered myself a Christian and dealing with an eating disorder. An eating disorder that I greatly needed help with but my Medicaid didn’t pay inpatient or outpatient eating disorder treatment nor did I have the money to get it. So, after finding out there was a free residential program that I could go to in Nashville, I decided to apply to Mercy Ministries (now Mercy Multiplied). Not only was it free but a Christian program which was a plus for me at the time as I considered myself a Christian at the time. I was accepted into Mercy and graduated. I learned a great deal about myself and grew as a person. I felt like I grew up and became an adult while I was at Mercy. I learned a lot about myself and don’t regret going.
Daily Prompt; What Do You Do to Be Involved in the Community?
Involvement in one’s community looks differently for each individual. For me getting involved in my multiple communities looks slightly different in each community. The one thing that is not different in each of my communities that I will mention is I volunteer my time. For instance I am involved with the animal welfare cause in many ways and the main way I do this is to volunteer my time at PAWS Cat City. I also help my neighbors with their pets when they need it as well.
As far as other ways I am involved with my community is that I am highly active in the recovery movement. I used to work as a peer specialist in the mental health field and I hope to go back to work in the field as my mental health continues to improve after a major trauma last summer. I am also helping plan for the Peer Pathways Conference by volunteering my time doing it. To me being involved in the peer and recovery communities helps me with my own recovery.
Another way I am involved in my community is being involved in multiple activities in the queer community. One way I am doing that is playing in a queer sports league for kickball. I am loving it and having fun as well as making friends. I am also apart of a queer book club where we read books by queer authors and/or books about queers. I am enjoying it and having fun with it as well as making friends just like kickball. I just applied last week to volunteer at Lambert House which is a community center for queer teens. I am hoping that I can volunteer at Lambert House.
Daily Prompt; How Would You Improve Your Community
Hello, World!!! There are many ways I would like to improve my community. The two ways that I would like to improve my community that popped up into my head was helping people with their recovery with mental health challenges and/or substances plus helping animals. Helping both animals and people at the same time is possible. I would improve helping animals by helping companion animals such as dogs and cats to their furrever home which is something I do when I volunteer at a local animal shelter. Another way I can improve my community is to go back to work in the mental health field to help people with their recovery once my own mental health improves a little more. Hell, I don’t need to work to do that, I can just reach out to friends who struggle. I can also just stop and talk with someone who is asking for food or money even if I don’t have either to help the person. There are several ways to improve your community, you just have to find at least one that you are passionate about to help.
Daily Prompt; What Was the Last Live Performance You Saw?
The last live performance I saw was a concert, March of last year (2023). In fact I went and saw Amy Grant in concert in Bremerton, Washington. I had a blast attending the concert. I had so much fun and met some new friends that I have been keeping in contact with since then. One of my favorite parts was when I was waiting by Amy Grant’s bus as she was leaving, I got to briefly talk with her and got a belated birthday hug from her. I love Amy Grant’s music.
