Don't write because you think one day it's going to make you rich. Write because you feel something; because you care about something; because your story needs to be told. Most of all, write because life is short, and death is long, and dreams have more power than money. #writing

I'm so grateful. Thank you Ebony Lynn Mudd and #PBRisingStars

Dear #WritingCommunity #writers #authors #writerscommunity sharing this photo as writing prompt for today. Photos writing prompts help me to be creative and step out of my comfort zone with my writing. I write about what I see, feel and write what comes to mind.

First mentor/mentee meeting with Ebony Lynn Mudd Thank you for reminding me of the importance of my own voice. Writing is magical. To all the writers, continue to develop the gift that has been given to you. Writing is a gift. #WritingCommunity #PBRisingStars

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor ‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

Rep. Justin Jones, one of three Democrats up for expulsion for participating in a gun control protest in the Tennessee legislature, was questioned by Rep. Johnny Garrett whether his actions were disruptive. This was Jones' response. bit.ly/3zD7Jvb

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

No matter what you are experiencing, I hope you will still find time to see the beauty in this world. For my mental health, what I love to do is walk and hike. There's just something special about being outside & enjoying nature. #selfcare = #selflove #WritingCommunity #writers
