Thursday Edition of Middle-Pause 7/2/20

Another week has come and gone…and life goes on. Looking back and then forward, our perspective determines the power of all aspects of our life. Today, our writers are giving us a hint of their power in words and life.

Sometimes We Soar, Sometimes We Crash — Marilyn Flower

We can either soar or crash according to Marilyn, our Resident Spiller of Wisdom’s writing prompt about the power of life experience.

Elijah McClain’s 2019 Death Still Matters — PunitaWrites

Punita powerfully articulates the sorrow and fear many mothers carry in her poignant post.

Nanas Who Knit Against Gas and Greed — Aikya Param

Aikya’s poem presents the power of granny held knit-ins. Now that’s a therapeutic protest I can handle.

What Two Boob Jobs Have Taught Me about Beauty, Confidence and Hindsight — Daniella Mini

Daniells explores the power of her relationship with her body, namely, her boobs!

Bacon Bourbon Creme Brûlée? — Marilyn Flower

And finally, we end with Marilyn talking about the power of a creme brulee and her relationship with her Uncle Bob.

I thought about the power of isolation and reflection and remembered a post I wrote. Enjoy.

Living in the In-Between Time — Debbie Walker

I hope the power of this period of isolation will help us turn to self-reflection.

Remember, To engage is to empower!

Also, remember that if you are in a crisis of managing work, family, parenting, caregiving, or menopause check out how I created an oasis of peace in my life.

Until next time…

Peace & Blessings!

Debbie, Marilyn, & Meg
