What foods would you like to make? I’m not much of a cook. As much as I like food, I hate cooking it. My meals are incredibly simple and quick. I find if I keep it easy, I won’t eat out as much. For awhile I was ordering Hello Fresh…

Continue reading →: 6 Month Mark for New Years Resolutions
It’s the 6 month mark for my New Year’s Resolutions and I’d like to clarify my goals relating to my three core values.

Continue reading →: Poems- May through August 2025
For the rest of spring and for summer I’m trying to get 1 to 2 poems done a week. If I can do more, great, but I’m not pressuring myself to produce an entire piece on a daily basis.

Continue reading →: Poems (Hollow Places and The Door Downstairs), Bosch study update, the daily writing prompt, my three core values and progress towards living them, guests coming to stay, and spring photos.
I wrote two poems last week and so far this week I have written one so my goal as far as writing goes has been achieved (I’m aiming for 1 to 2 poems a week). Yesterday and the day before I picked up my Bosch study and got some of…

I’d like to align my New Years Resolutions with my three core values that I identified in my self compassion workbook. These are the three things that matter most to me in the world and I want to prioritize them in my every day life. Core values in the form…

Continue reading →: Poem (Mary Walks Amid The Thorn), the daily writing prompt, running, some spring pictures, and my mid-week intention review.
I wrote this poem based off a 16th century Christmas carol by the same name. List your top 5 favorite fruits. So I can run again. According to my doctor, running does not cause osteoarthritis (in my case it’s genetic) and actually helps it so I started up again today.…

Continue reading →: Catching up (it’s been awhile), I was published, a poem (Weatherman), two paintings, the daily writing prompt, some photos from my walk (spring flowers)
It’s been awhile since I updated this blog. A lot has happened. I had a health scare where my calf swelled up and they thought it was a blood clot and I was rushed in for an ultrasound which luckily ruled that out. However I do have a bakers cyst…

Continue reading →: Poem (Shrine), the half marathon, the daily writing prompt, and day 1 of 66 of establishing a routine.
This poem was finished on the 20th and started on the 18th. So it took awhile to get it done. I’m trying to work on poems over a period of days instead of pressuring myself to write an entire poem every day like I was doing in March. I wrote…

Continue reading →: Poems- April 2025 – National Poetry Month
In March I wrote an entire poem every single day but this April I’m being a little more gentle with myself and just trying to complete something every few days. Working a little bit each day, but not pressuring myself to finish something.

Continue reading →: I was published! The daily writing prompt & exercise.
I was published today. Check it out below! https://samanthaterrell.weebly.com/shine-poetry-series/april-17-mary-coleman Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. A decision I made in the past that helped me grow was the decision to overcome my temper. I used to have an explosive temper and was…

Continue reading →: Poem (Tidal), new books, the daily writing prompt, strength training, and my to-do-list.
I started this poem yesterday but finished it today. Not my favorite work of mine, but it’s a completed poem. Now to let my brain stew and come up with fresh material. I must finish what I start, art or poetry, before my mind allows me to move onto something…

Continue reading →: A poem inspired by Goya’s The Dog, the daily writing prompt, and running.
Today’s poem was inspired by my favorite painting of all time, The Dog by Goya. It’s been three days forming in my brain and I finally got it all down this morning. Stanzas of it came to me at random, not necessarily in the order the poem is written. Here’s…

Continue reading →: The daily writing prompt, progress on my New Year’s resolutions (week 2 of April), and strength training.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I try to see my life one year at a time and that’s as far as I can handle. This year I set seven big goals to work on throughout the upcoming months and that’s my focus for now. Next year I’ll…

Continue reading →: No poem today, the daily writing prompt, strength training, and Easter baskets.
I didn’t feel like writing today so no poems. I wrote every single day this week besides today so I feel accomplished. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more creative. I’m trying to be gentle with myself in April because in March I wrote an entire poem every single day. In…

Continue reading →: Today’s poem (Hourglass), the daily writing prompt, time management, a 10 mile run, and ageing.
I wrote a little bit today. Nothing amazing. I just took an existing poem of mine that I didn’t like very much and added to it, fleshed it out a bit. The end result is okay. It’s a little bit about vanity in middle age. Describe something you learned in…
