Kate said, “OTHER.” My routine wasn’t followed because I fell asleep very early last night. As the sun sank below the western mountains, my eyelids followed. There was no other thing to do but sleep. 00:00 Other – interesting word. To refer to someone or something as different or distinct from someone or something else;… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: RELEASE
Kate said, “Release.” I followed my normal FMF routine but this word didn’t have the power of resonating with me. I have released a lot of things over the years.
