What brings you peace?
View all responses

I have many things that bring peace. Some of what brings have always given me peace while other things I have had to practice to bring me peace. The one thing that has brought me peace since I could remember is water as well as nature. I grew up in California and went to the beach all the time as well as went to the mountains to hike as well as to camp. Of, course there are lakes that I went to when I camped and/or hiked. Now that I have lived in Seattle for nearly thirty years, I have easy access to water which is easy to get to no matter where in Seattle you live.

Another thing that brings me peace happens to cats. I know it is weird that cats bring me peace but cats do bring me peace. Cats know what brings them peace and they know how to set boundaries. That is one of the reasons why cats bring me peace.

Now on to what I had to learn to what brings me peace. The thing that I learned to help me be at peace is meditation. I am so grateful that I learned meditation as it is something I can do anytime and anywhere. I am so glad I learned meditation.

Daily Prompt; Are You A Leader Or A Follower?

Are you a leader or a follower?
View all responses

This is a hard one for me to answer as in many situations it appears to others as well as myself that I am a follower while some say I am a leader. In my opinion I think I am a little bit of both. I say this because in some circumstances one needs to be the follower to be able to learn while in other circumstances one needs to be the leader because there is nobody else who can be the leader for whatever reason. So, in my case I tend to be both especially since I am not a natural born leader and I learn for others on how to be a leader.

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

I do not like to share when I do random acts of kindness as I feel like that defeats the purpose of doing them. I do them out of the kindness of my heart and not to stroke my ego which is why I really don’t want to share at the point in time. Yes, I have shared random acts of kindness from time to time but I do my best not to as it defeats the point. I think doing random acts of kindness for people on a daily basis then this world would be a better place.

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
View all responses

I really want my next tattoo to be the paw print of my last cat, Lil Gertie with the date I adopted her and the date she crossed over the rainbow bridge. I want it on the calf of my leg. The reason why is because I want to put the paw prints of all the cats that I have or have had or will have as an adult on the back of my calf like the cats are climbing up my leg. I also will be the day I adopt them as well as the day they cross over the rainbow bridge as a way to honor them.

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?
View all responses

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?

Do you have any collections?
View all responses

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.

What activities do you lose yourself in?
View all responses

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.

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
View all responses

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.
