I’m Not Telling

On October 31, 2023October 31, 2023 By CariIn Daily Prompts7 Comments

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? This is a tough one to answer. Not because I don't know what I'd wish for. Because I do. I make wishes all the time. The problem, you see, is that I'm a firm believer in keeping wishes secret. That whole childhood concept of …

Interview Ready

On October 27, 2023October 27, 2023 By CariIn Daily Prompts2 Comments

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? In a previous post, I joked about alternate life paths. One path, following my childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist, was actually true. I even have the shark tattoo to prove it. Unfortunately, I was destined for other things. I've also kicked around …

Who’d A Thought?

On October 26, 2023October 26, 2023 By CariIn Daily Prompts8 Comments

What food would you say is your specialty? I had to poll the family in order to answer this daily prompt. I make some life-altering potstickers. I've perfected a Minestrone Soup recipe that was handed down. Everyone always seems to love my Chickpea Paprikash. I've nailed down my Vegan Cheese Sauce. Around the holidays, I …

Tragedy

On October 25, 2023October 25, 2023 By CariIn Daily Prompts2 Comments

What major historical events do you remember? Two major historical events come to mind, both tragic in nature - the Challenger exploding and 9/11. I was in 3rd Grade when the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded. I don't remember if my class was watching the launch live, but I was glued to the TV all week, …

Not What, Who

On October 23, 2023October 23, 2023 By CariIn Daily PromptsLeave a comment

What are you most proud of in your life? It's an easy prompt today, but not what I am proud of, but who. I am extremely proud of my children. I am honored to be in their lives. Each are perfect and special in their own way and are already making such an impact on …

Slug Mode Deactivated

On October 20, 2023October 20, 2023 By CariIn Daily PromptsLeave a comment

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? My definition of a "lazy day" is laying around, doing nothing. I don't do "lazy days". In a previous life, I wasted so many days being hungover in slug mode that the idea of laying around makes my skin crawl. I just can't do it anymore. …

Success, It’s Relative

On October 19, 2023October 19, 2023 By CariIn Daily PromptsLeave a comment

When you think of the word "successful," who's the first person that comes to mind and why? Me. The first person that comes to mind when I think of the word "successful" is me.  Not because I think my accomplishments are any more important than anyone else's.  Because they're not.  "Success" is relative and can …

Pitchforks and Dental Implements

On October 18, 2023October 18, 2023 By CariIn Daily PromptsLeave a comment

What makes a good neighbor? The best kind of neighbor is one who is unseen and unheard. Kidding. Kind of... I've had some GREAT neighbors. Ones that helped mow the grass on occasions, simply because they had the time and I didn't. Ones that would keep an eye on the house when I was out …

The Foundation

On October 16, 2023October 16, 2023 By CariIn Daily Prompts2 Comments

What principles define how you live? This morning, I started a lengthy post on my personal journey and spiritual and religious metamorphosis. The thing is, when it comes to this topic and where I was then and where I am now, it takes time to fill in all the holes and connect the thoughts into …
