☼ Cow! - Day 18 ☼ All 18 days are here: https://nikiflow.wordpress.com/tag/cwcii/

►Prompts: Choose one, two, or all three. Write for at least five minutes. Share one paragraph for each prompt.

►Prompt 1 – Connection Every morning, for two minutes before opening our email, write a letter of gratitude and appreciation to one person.Image by MythologyArt from Pixabay

►Prompt 2 – Letters from Write a letter from a favorite character in a book or movie. Imagine you have written to ask them a specific question; miraculously, their letter could cross space, time, and reason to reply.

►Prompt 3 – Tales Later Life and Reflection What is something on your bucket list you have yet to cross off?

​☼ BONUSES ☼

Note: Shaun’s idea (Prompt 1) is to use the five habits for ten minutes daily (two minutes each). So, feel free to continue adding two minutes of journaling, gratitude, and exercise. I’ll add the prompts below as we finish each section as Bonus sections.

Bonus 1 – Journaling For two minutes in a document, write down one meaningful thing that happened in the last 24 hours.

Bonus 2 – Exercise If you are still doing the “Exercise” portion of Shaun’s 5 tips, here’s a suggested 2-minute exercise from today’s “Silly Yoga” series.

Why Helicopter?

Cow/Helicopter Reference (Joke): Two cows are standing in a field eating grass when one cow turns to the other and asks,

“Hey, are you worried about that Mad Cow Disease going around?”

The other cow stops chewing and frowns, then says, “What are you asking me for? I’m a helicopter!”

Bonus 3 – Meditation Meditate for two minutes. While meditating today, you might enjoy watching an underwater reef in Tahiti from “Nature Relaxation Films.” (My favorite part so far is the whale at minute ~4:11.)

Bonus 4 – Gratitude Continue your gratitude practice by writing 1-18 things today for which you are grateful.

New Page.

Once I Submit My Creative Work...Then What?

A new artist contacted me last week and asked some great questions about how we feature creative work. As I wrote back, I realized this may be a question others have had.

So here is our new page which you can see in the menu above now.

Tell Us a Story

The theme for February and ongoing throughout 2018 is “storytelling.”  We are always looking for your story, poetry, photo and art submissions.  Here’s the Submission Guidelines post from earlier this month:  Tell Us a Story.

Changemaker Johnny O

JohnnyO of Denver and Nicole Huguenin, (Dream Together) one of our most generous contributing photographers.Big shout out to JohnnyO in Denver who has some amazing stories to tell (coming soon).  Johnny was recently featured in Channel 9 KUSA Denver News reading one of his poems, Climb Again.  When I spoke to John on Tuesday, he told me some wonderful news. He has secured a venue in Denver for two different Gallery shows which will feature the art and writings from under1000skies. One show will be in March and and the other in June.  These venues are quite expensive and exclusive but Johnny was able to get the venues pro bono!  This is amazing news.  Johnny has been passionate about helping spread the word about under1000skies since he learned about us a couple of years ago.  As more information becomes available, we’ll share it here with you.  Kudos to Johnny O and deep bows of gratitude for your enthusiasm, kindness and creative vision.

This quote was posted today on the London Libraries Twitter page. I loved it and thought it was a perfect way to announce the theme for February and, really, for the rest of 2018.

Tell us, how do you manage to bring joy to every single day, every day of every year? Please tell us your story. We so want to hear it, and Most of all, tell us who, what, where, when and why You love.
