On Writer's Block & a WINNER

I know it's normal, but when you love words and they don't come, it's a real struuuugggle.
I reached an all time low in mine when all I could come up with recently was this lame post.
Thank God we're not all in the same place at the same time!
I've found some very thought-provoking, CoLoRfUl and heart-wrenching posts out there.
I thought I'd pass along the links just in case & by some slim chance you haven't read them already.

a post that makes you cry the ugly cry isn't enough....

  4. ok..I am sitting down eating lunch and have been thinking of you while I was doing the laundry earlier...
    anyway
    be gentle to yourself friend. You have LOTS going on right now..and maybe the no words are because He has other plans right now...VERY SOON you will have so many words and projects and posts on your beautiful new home this will seem like a hiccup:)
    I know..I've had people say the same thing to me and I think...but seriously
    take care of yourself and sharing this post was perfect..and real!
    are you moving this Friday?
    xoxo

  5. You are a thoughtful person, and it does come out in your blog. Just have a nice cup of coffee or tea outside, and the words will come. Have a great day and week!
