Grant writing is definitely not for the faint of heart. There's quite a learning curve involved at first; and the learning can be fast-tracked by joining up with a grant-writing guru's coaching community or course or workshop(s). But, I've chosen to take the do-it-yourself (DIY) route for my educational purposes. It suits my timetable and … Continue reading Grant-Writing Beginnings
It really feels good to be back home. I mean . . . the last blog post I published was back in November 2024 and then the one before that was September 2024. So, it's been a minute. And, I haven't been able to fill this nagging void I've been experiencing for a few months … Continue reading Back in Blogging Action
Sometimes, you just need a minute to collect yourself when you're in the middle of a reset for your creative outlet. And, that was me last week. I just needed a moment, so forgive me for being MIA. Been doing some soul-searching, simplifying, and prioritizing. But, I'm back this week with a more focused determination … Continue reading A Foreshadowing with a Reading and Writing Reblog
Have you ever intended to keep your discussion or commentary short and sweet and communicated that you were going to do so? And then, did you actually follow through with what you said you were going to do -- keep it short and sweet? Well, I'm about to try that very thing right now. Just … Continue reading The Moods-Behaviors Tracking Challenge Check-in
Hey, it's been a minute since I brought you an installment of the "Blogging Truths Be Told" series, but I felt inspired to do so. Just because. And because I love blogging. It's been the mainstay here at Degrees of Maternity. In fact, other platforms have come and gone, been strong then faded in the … Continue reading Blogging Truths Be Told: Blogging . . . a Form of Writing Therapy?
Let's go ahead and continue our discussion from last blog post, Keeping Yourself Honest During the Process. As was previously stated, there are certain measures or systems that, most likely, need a permanent place setting in the carrying out of our process journeying. And, the process for identity refinement is no exception. We're going to have … Continue reading Keeping Yourself Honest During the Process (cont.)
So, we've been dissecting this whole rightful placement in identity process. And, we're making our way through the steps - one foot forward at a time. But, it can't go without saying that the temptation to stop processes in the middle of grinding our way through them is a thing. It's a REAL thing. In … Continue reading Keeping Yourself Honest During the Process
There's really so much I want to say. But I'll save it for another day. I just popped in to say, "Hello." And let you know I'm on the go. Going hard on a real-life mission. Soon to come into fruition. Writing's involved as you will see. But it's mostly about humanity. How we use … Continue reading A Brief Working-in-Progressing Poem
Just recently (this morning exactly), I had the opportunity to engage in a conversation of tough love, but love nonetheless. You know how you can sometimes look like the bad guy or girl when you have to say "no" to someone you love, but you're not saying "no" to be mean or demeaning or anything … Continue reading Accountability That Balances: A Writing Therapy Reflection
I'm doing a little wordplay action, here. No, I'm not on a Spring Break vacation from my child's school. The only one of my three children left in school just finished his official Spring Break over a week ago. No, I'm not on a Spring Break from work. Work breaks? What are those? There's always … Continue reading Breaking in Spring
