Ten Things of Thankful-July 29 2023
It’s TTOT time! Let’s go!
- It has been a super busy week, but a productive one. My friend and I met up with other writers in person on Friday. This was a real meeting of the minds and so much was accomplished. It was nice to get together at the new bookstore in Cary.
- Tomatoes! One of the members of the abovementioned group brought his own garden tomatoes. Yes, please! Yummmmm
- Five Minute Energy Clearing from Ambika Devi. I met Ambika several months ago and she is an amazing writer, artist, and all-around great person. She shared this resource for taking just five minutes… It came at just the right time. I was clutter-headed and needed a reset. Here is the link: https://ambikadevi.com/5-minute-energy-clearing/
- Woo Wee! Two books out almost on top of each other. Two different books, both from prolific poets. One is a book of poetry and the other is a journal, but a very unique journal. They are both excellent. I don’t usually share these links in my TTOT but I am so grateful for these accomplishments I am breaking my rule. What Matters Journal show me the banksy
- Daughter was accepted to a new program and starts Monday. She is looking forward to it and probably to having time away from me.
- It sprinkled this morning and the temps dropped a little.
- Convenience to nearby stores. I love that we can actually walk to Mister’s pharmacy. The other one is across the street (not crossing that street YIKES). Excellent that they are close, along with grocery stores.
- It is almost time for the Sealey Challenge and I have my books all set. In my office, there’s a poetry book always nearby. Are you participating? Check it out. I know a publisher (clears throat) who has poetry connections…wink wink
- Just two more days and we can start my birthday month. It’s my trip before a monumental number in 2024. I intend to take this year up on its challenge. Just watch me or run along with me. Well, not run, I don’t move that fast! Oh yeah… I met a physical challenge this month and even received a T-shirt and medal.
- YOU What’s your thankful this week? Drop in the comments or create a post and link up below. Check out what others are sharing.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! What Matters Journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns
Prolific Pulse Press is pleased to announce the publication of this unique journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns.
This is a journal of intention, an acknowledgment of what matters. Inspired by Zaneta Varnado Johns’ Pushcart Prize nominated poem, “What Matters,” it is a tool for continuous reflection and mindfulness. Johns believes that every word shared is an opportunity to love. She further states that we are rich in unfailing love. How does it look when we consistently cultivate that love—for others and ourselves? Nothing else matters until we master the divine gift of knowing what matters.
Crafted with a style all her own, Johns has created a journal that is designed for thoughtful introspection and outward expressions of self-care and care for others.
The artwork by Pratibha Savani and Preeti Mistry add to the meaning of this designer’s dream. Kelli Jackson has also contributed to the design of this work of art.
The outstanding cover photography by Shari Filsinger shows the intended warm invitation to enter into moments of personal expressions.
