May I ask you a question?
It's not a poll, I promise.
Hi. It’s me. You’re not experiencing a time warp. It’s definitely NOT Wednesday, and this isn’t a typical Scratch post. After days of dithering, I've decided to act on an idea that has been pecking around in my brain like a chicken in a compost pile. I’m excited by the good stuff I’m convinced will be found.
In this season of thankfulness, if you’re willing, I want to lift up your voices. I am truly grateful for how you support my writing, whether you’re a loyal reader, a frequent commenter, a paid subscriber, someone who shares posts with others, or a combination of all of those!
I’m eager for the opportunity to let your light shine and am confident this little activity will help all of us move our attention off the chaos around us. I don’t mean to diminish the magnitude or meaning of our global problems, but I believe the collective act of gathering in gratitude can help move energy toward change.
With that…
Please consider answering ONE of the following prompts. Just click reply, as you would with any other email message. That will send a message directly to my Chicken Scratch inbox.
I am hopeful about the future because…
I am thankful for…
Send me your thoughts by Monday, November 20th at 5 p.m. ET (10 p.m. GMT). Depending on the number of responses, I’ll share some or all back out with my regular post on Wednesday.
Yesterday afternoon, there was an unexpected knock on my door and a delivery of a bag filled with fresh persimmons. That is a story unto itself, but for now, please know that your thoughts will be like those bright orange fruits, each one a thing of delicious beauty.
One response to one prompt by 5 PM ET, Monday, November 20th.
You could actually send it right now, so it doesn’t fall off the radar. 😁 Oh, and if you’d prefer to not have your name associated with what I share back out, let me know in your reply, and mum’s the word!
Thank you, friends, for being friends.
