The last time I got angry

The last time I felt appreciated

April 2, 2021

Engaged couple.

The first thing that popped into my head was that I have felt appreciated by a number of blog readers recently. I’ve gotten some emails and comments from people letting me know that my main blog has been a source of encouragement and calm and cheer in their lives. I feel a combo of honored…

A time when I was lucky

April 1, 2021

Kristen's townhouse kitchen.

Technically, I don’t believe in luck; I believe the unexpected good things that happen to me are blessings from God. But in casual language, I do use that word. For instance, I might say, “Oooh, lucky me!” but I don’t literally believe that things happen to me because of luck. So! Here’s an unexpected good…

A place where I’d love to live

March 31, 2021

California coast view.

Obviously, I haven’t been all over the world, so my range of thoughts here is somewhat limited. But if I had to choose, based on where I’ve traveled, I think I’d like to live in California, north of LA, somewhere between Santa Barbara and Monterey. I like warm weather and sunshine, and California definitely checks…

The last time I got angry

fire

I don’t know if this is precisely the last time, but I’m going to roll with it. A few weeks back, I read several news articles in a single week that followed the same pattern: a man had sexually harassed/abused women and/or girls underneath him (in an organization of some type), and when his behavior…

I should have spoken up when…

March 29, 2021

Kristen

I saw this prompt and found myself making a wry smile because I could basically say, “I should have spoken up All of the Times in My Whole Life.” Speaking up is not at all my forte, which is no surprise to you if you have read this blog for any length of time. I…

How I provide value every day

March 24, 2021

Kristen and Lisey with butterflies on their cheeks.

This is sort of a funny prompt; I don’t think I’ve really thought about my life quite like this. I mean, it’s sort of a common concept in business; it’s normal to think about how you might provide value to your employer, or about how your small business might provide value to a customer. I…

Something that gives me energy

March 23, 2021

Morning sunshine by a bridge.

Sunshine! I feel so much more sluggish when the weather is rainy and/or cloudy. But give me a sunny day and I feel perkier both physically and mentally. Sun is good any time of day, but my very favorite sunshine is the early morning variety. I like mornings anyway, because they feel so full of…

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
