Day Three. Hope & Life.

Today was the third in the series of Ten Days of Writing and it was held at PGE at the World Trade Center. We had to move to another conference room but they made up for it with Starbucks, soda and yummy bakery cookies. I counted 24 participants including the two facilitators.

Again, I would encourage anyone who has been to a workshop to try as many as possible, they are all different. I've been blessed with the opportunity to attend all ten. Now, I'd like to encourage anyone reading this blog and who has attended a workshop to submit a piece of writing or share their experience. I've been privy to some excellent writing and it would be nice to see it here for others to read.

For a prompt, we were asked to pick two words from a list provided, I chose HOPE & LIFE. We then passed our words to the person on the left and they wrote a phrase for each word and passed it back to us to turn into a piece of writing. Here's mine.

Life is the connection of all things;
Hope brings all life together.
Happiness is love and love is serenity;
With that serenity push through your fear and gain stamina.
Dig your heels into the earth and pluck your luck from the sky.
Follow your passion and you'll find your home someplace where the landscape meets the sea;
So hang your hat there and soak in the fascination of it all.
