A scene with running water
June's Prompt
A scene with running water
Does anyone remember (or has read) this little piece I wrote several years ago?
The Narrative of an Early Bloomer
So, up to that point I had written some posts that may not have raised eyebrows but were definitely topics that weren't being discussed in a proper context. Then Early Bloomer was posted and never had I been more scared to publish anything. Thankfully the response was positive and overwhelming and the knowledge that I was not alone in issues regarding my sexuality, the emotional damage that was done due to purity culture, the horrific double standards (within my own family; what a shocker) and the Christian community's blatant disregard for young women who are scared and confused regarding love and intimacy and their own bodies.
A year later I wrote a follow up: The Narrative of a Christian Feminist, which delved deeper into, once again, the double standards for males and single females within the Church. This also received exceptional positive feedback.
So now we've gotten through the preamble!
I saw this tag on Inklings Corner and it looked like fun!
May's Prompt
Stagecoach scene in book or film
After almost a year of marriage I have discovered two certain arts that I never thought that an introvert like me would ever have, but they certainly go hand in hand. Cooking and hospitality. Growing up I hated cooking. I never had the time and patience for it and well...I didn't really have the best of instructors either. However, after I got married, I knew I was going to get over my despair of cooking or else my husband and I were going to starve.

February's Prompt
A scene at the piano
My Downton Abbey rewatch continues as the Crawley's and the lives of all those around them adjust to the changing times brought on by WWI. Of all the seasons this one is probably my favorite. It was good to see the Crawley's come down from their ivory tower and join the rest of the world. Seeing how the war broke down so many social barriers was fascinating.
As The Chosen has progressed you begin to notice that each season has a certain theme. Season 1 was finding the Messiah, Season 2 was teaching the Good News. Season 3 can be condensed in one word. Healing. Healing of heart, body, mind, soul and spirit. Healing from our past, healing from our fears and anxieties. Amidst the pain and sorrow that this world holds for us, there is healing to be found in hope. Small as hope might be it can be the difference between life and death.
First Inklings of 2025!
