7 Mindsets to Live By if You Want to Achieve Extraordinary Success

This post isn’t about that. It is, however, about achieving extraordinary success for you.READ MORE.

Weekly Prompt:

We Want Holidays Filled With Wonder And Delight

Write a story that tells about your favorite holiday tradition. Please tell us what you do, why that particular holiday is your favorite, and why you chose that specific tradition to share with us.

This does not need to be a holiday that comes at the end of the year. If you enjoy your favorite holiday tradition on Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day, or Diwali, or Lughnasa, or Holi, or Passover or any other holiday at any time of year, please share your favorite tradition.

Editor’s Choice to fulfill last week’s prompt:

Relationships Can Be Repaired by Michael Horner

As I read I thought, “maybe this is my opportunity to make things right with a friend of mine. I wonder if he’ll read this.” → READ MORE.

Author Spotlight: Terrye Turpin

As to what kind of writer, and what kind of person I am -well, I write with my left hand, but I do almost everything else right-handed, so I could be ambidextrous if I were motivated enough. I often get my right and left hand confused, and I have trouble giving directions when someone asks me, “Do I turn right or left here?” I’ve learned the best way is to navigate by compass points, so I’ll say, “Go north on White Street, and turn east on Main.” In other words, sometimes I’m unsure which side I’m on, but I always know which direction I’m headed.
