Lisa Writing Wild

Do something small to begin living the life you imagine.  Start today.  Write down your Bucket List, and start DOING it.  Do the easiest stuff first, if that gets you going . You’ve got this.  Step out of the norm and be wild .  Take risks in your creative life. Think you can’t write or paint? Do it anyway. You’ll be amazed how much better you get when you keep at it.  Create adventure.  You can make anything fun.  Be grateful and kind. Less is More. Take care of your body, mind, and soul.                                              Meditate daily, even for three minutes. Carve                                              your own path and lead the way.                                               Let criticism roll  off with a smile.                                                Keep the word “can’t” out of your vocabulary.                                                           Embrace your weirdness. Be proud.

A writer can't help but want to write down dialogue they hear between strangers. Yesterday I was waiting for my son to come out of a Target bathroom. A male employee walked past me toward the Employees Onl y door. Before he could enter, about five other employees came out. The male employee smiled and said, "Hey, I'm your new co-worker. It's so amazing to meet you!" and he hugged every employee standing there. I had to write that down. Had to. I wanted to know more about this guy who shows up for work on his first day and ecstatically hugs his new coworkers. I kinda wanted to be his friend. Is he always like
