For my contribution this week, I write about my OLW - Light! About a week ago, I saw a friend's post on Facebook that was asking for some inspiration to get the writing juices flowing. Many people responded with thoughts and ideas, but one really hit home for me in many ways. As I read the phrase "generating light" I fell in love. I went on about my day, days really, but I couldn't shake that phrase from my mind. It ended up igniting both my One Little Word for 2014 and a poem.
As I sat down to cut out an enormous pile of laminating, the words kept bouncing around in my head. I was sitting next to the computer so I opened a document and began to type the bits and pieces that came to mind as I cut. By the time my pile was finished, so was my poem! I love multitasking and it turned out to be a nice sampling of things that bring light into my life.
