I’ve been writing affirmations as lines for several months. I haven’t written any lately, but want to pick it back up, given my emotional state. I’ve asked for suggestions on both Twitter and BlueSky and I suppose I’ll ask here, as well. I am showing photos of a few I have done to give you an idea of what I am looking for to spark ideas. Also, I see line writing as a form of discipline, even if it’s standing on its own.

Some Stats
I thought it might be fun to share some of the blogs stats with you all. Although I occasionally get very inflated views (like one day this week I got over 900 views from a small island off of Georgia – in the US – super weird), they have stayed stable day-to-day for the most part, with spikes on days I post and the days after. My blog stats also track where my views are from (by country, region, and city), what people click on, and referrers.

Also, my kiddo started school and that was all consuming, even though I was sick and couldn’t attend meet the teacher or drop her off at all! I masked up and picked out her first day outfit and got the requisite pictures.
Anyway, now I am in the middle of Madeline Martin’s newest novel, The Secret Book Society. I am moving kind of slowly through it because I just can’t focus, but it’s good so far. That said, let’s take a look back at August.
