Enthusiastically, Dawn

Welcome to the day before the last day of our Fall Into Journaling series, where we sit and write daily on the way to cultivating a regular journaling practice. May I encourage you? It’s ok to start today! Though today is Day 20, if you feel so led- jump in. Then journey backwards through the list! Also for those who have been journaling along, please consider the week of 10/14-10/20 your time to send me your journaling questions, or work on prompts you missed or want to get back to. I will have a Post during that week to remind you, but wanted to mention it so you can begin pondering. I will post a final word on October 21st where I answer any questions submitted, share any of your thoughts shared (with permission) and give my own concluding thoughts.

Onward to the next prompt!

If your an adventurous type this prompt will send you to your tea canister, or the market searching for your next adventure with words!

I suggest you pour yourself a cup of hot tea, and for my dear friend, Lauree- that can never be too hot! As a matter of fact, let’s say this prompt is dedicated to her, and her neverending desire love for the hottest cup of tea.

I adore those tea bags that come with sage wisdom. Have you seen them? They are the perfect sidekicks for your spontaneous journaling life. Just pour yourself a cup of tea, and WALA! Your journal prompt appears. I happen to also appreciate (but don’t indulge often) in the chocolates that are wrapped in a papery wisdom- I think they might Dove Chocolates, and when unwrapped- a little quote to ponder or jumpstart your writing time appears on the inside of the wrapping! Brilliant! Chocolate is good for writing. If one does not overindulge. Let the record show, I prefer tea.

Prompt 20: Tea Bag

Option 1: Grab a tea bag from your cupboard, pour yourself a cuppa, and write to the prompt you receive from the tea bag.

Option 2: If you are out of tea – you can choose the one pictured: The voice of your soul is breath…

Option 3. Write about a precious memory you have related to tea.

Option 4: Plan on paper your best tea party. Who do you invite, what do you serve and what tea set will you use? Have fun with this one. You can imagine real people or have an out of this world, or time-frame tea party.

Option 5: If you ever had a toy tea set as a child, write about it. If you have given or received a real tea set write about it.
