Wonder of Creation – Five Minute Friday

By | | ,
7 Comments

I thought last week was the last day for this year of 5 min. Friday, but since there is one more day left in November, today was actually the last day.  I will be back with more poetry in 5 minutes in January!   The rules for these 5 min. Fridays are that you write on the word given for the day for 5 min. flat, with no over thinking or back tracking.   I believe this exercise allows your spirit to “speak” , because well- you just let whatever wants to come out, out!  So here we go- Today’s word is WONDER:   Go I look at all of creation with gratitude and wonder- The way the skies are so blue in the day, with traces of cloud, and brightness of … Continue Reading →

Five Minute Friday- “Thank You”

By | | ,
7 Comments

This is the last 5 minute Friday until the New Year Begins.  I have been enjoying writing on the word prompt each week , bringing you poetry-silly or poetic in just 5 minutes of writing with whatever the word of the week is.  Can’t wait until January to begin again! Today’s word is Thank-You.  I think I will deviate from my typical poetry style for today.  Setting my clock!….   Go Thank You: This heart of thanks does not only make a practice of gratitude once a year, on Thanksgivings.  A thankful heart can be and should be a way of life-thanking my creator for the blessings I have (even in the midst of difficulties), both little and big.  I think of people I want to say thank you to … Continue Reading →

  And so the series on savings continues!  I just signed up for a free trial of Shoprunner and thought I would pass along the link to a Free 6 month trial for you too!  For what my research has gathered, typically you only get a 30 day or maybe a 90 day trial at most, but I stumbled upon a Free 6 month one.  I have no clue how long this offer will last, so as always, better to not wait too long if interested, just in case.   What is Shoprunner? It’s basically an online membership you can get that will save you money on your online shopping and also on pizza delivery.  Shoprunner has a line up of many stores that you can get unlimited Free 2 … Continue Reading →

I have an awesome Black Friday Deal to share with you today!  For those of you who don’t know what black Friday is, Black Friday is a HUGE shopping day here in the USA on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day.  This year, many stores online are doing their black Friday Deals early.  I happened to “accidentally” stumble upon one before bed, and I want to share it with you. **Please Note that this Deal just started today and is only good for this week.  I would act quickly though, because I imagine things will start selling out.   The super awesome deal I stumbled upon was for Wilson’s Leather.  I was trying to figure out what to get Matt for the remainder of his Christmas shopping, and hadn’t really decided … Continue Reading →

The Praise Project (Spreading a Lil’ Sunshine)-My Results

By | | ,
4 Comments

Could you go an entire week without uttering one negative word to another?  Not one criticism, sarcastic comment, or complaint?  How would it affect yourself and those around you if you used your words to only speak praises to people?  Life giving words.  Edifying words.  Sincere Compliments.  Sincere words of appreciation and gratitude.  Letting people know how you feel about them while you can, instead of keeping it to yourself and regretting not telling them later. This was the concept behind “The Praise Project” that Tonya and I did this week.  What is this “Praise Project” you ask?  Click HERE to catch up if you missed Monday’s article on that, and click HERE to read how my friend Tonya did during her one week challenge if you missed Tuesday’s article.  … Continue Reading →

A Not So Inspiring Cat Caper

7 Comments

  So today WAS the day I was supposed to submit the results of what happened during my week long “Praise Project” experiment.  I say WAS, because the cat had other plans.  I do my blog posting at night, because that is typically when I have the most quiet time to write.  So I worked really hard and had this perfectly written draft that I was just wrapping up (writing the last lines too) and Boom!  The seemingly sleeping kitty suddenly decides to wake up , step on my keyboard, and delete the whole project!  Then he runs off like nothing happened.   AARGHHH.  The only thing inspiring about that (and it’s a stretch) , is the irony of the fact that I had written this whole post on being positive … Continue Reading →

What would happen if you were mindful of the words you spoke each day for ONE WHOLE WEEK straight?!  That is the experiment we are doing here at “We Live Inspired!” this week.  If you have not yet read yesterday’s post about what this project we call “The Praise Project” is all about, then please catch up by reading that post first HERE. (click on those words)   That being said, I am not the author of today’s article.  Today I want to introduce you guys to a friend of mine, Tonya, who blogs over at a place called “Nearly Missed It” (see bottom of this for a picture and bio of Tonya too!).  We met through the Five Minute Friday’s that you see me post weekly now, and she … Continue Reading →

The Praise Project- A Week in Compliments & Thanksgiving

By | | ,
3 Comments

For the past week, my friend Tonya (who blogs at Nearly Missed it) and I have been doing a “secret” project, which we are revealing this week! About a month ago I was inspired by the power that our words have on others and wanted to do a week long experiment on this subject, then blog about it.     Most of us at some point in our week get stressed or frustrated with something.  Maybe it’s your kids, job, co-workers, Husband, family stuff, etc. (the list can go on and on!)  Have you ever caught yourself getting short with people, being negative, complaining, talking negatively about someone behind their back, or maybe even yelling?  How are you using your words?  Do you use them to lift people up, show … Continue Reading →

Quiet that illuminates-Inspirational 5 Minute Friday

By | | ,
12 Comments

It’s 5 Minute Friday!  The rules are that you have to write something that comes to mind with the word prompt given for 5 minutes straight without over thinking and back tracking.  The other really important rule is that us bloggers visit other writers to read what they wrote and leave a comment-especially the one that posted right before us.   It’s what community is all about!  This week the timer ran out before the last 4 little lines were written.  So I went just a teensy bit over to complete the poem so that it wasn’t unfinished.  I figured you all would let it slide this time 😉   Today’s word was “Quiet”: Quiet In the stillness of the night I sit here writing. The house is quiet. The … Continue Reading →
