Spinning with Lisa Jo and community again today. A five-minute spill from a word prompt. Today it’s about color . . . GO! I consider Kitchenaid mixers, and my head spins. So. Many. Choices.

I’m Feelin’ It
I want to write, I say. But I’m not feelin’ it. Make a list of the objects that are around you, she says. Just play with the list. I look around. It’s a long list. A messy list. Stacks of photo albums in blue and brown and red and pink. A half-eaten peanut butter cup […]
