Did the first wedding go beautifully?

Not until October 7. Less than a month now. Amazing how quickly time flies.

Thank you for this! A great exercise. I'll give it a try. Already I have a few words on my whiteboard: values, gratitude, mystery. . .

Love the idea of keeping them on a white board!

I read every word you wrote. I just love your experiences and the cool way you use words. BUT what really made me smile was the last line a quote from Elvis, “Values....You leave them all over everything you do”. I saw me in those words. My conversations on PeacePodcast.org to a brief encounter with a homeless person, I share how much I value them and love them as a unique human. Thanks again Joyce for giving me the words for reflection. 💕

Thank you, Barbara ... You are who Elvis was talking about!

What a really great way to engage with the roundup. Curating digests of writing here has allowed me different ways to really engage with the writing and I am growing as a writer as a result but this is a different approach (because I tend to focus on content over style) that I'm going to give a try as well.

Would love to hear what you glean from it.

A lovely generous post. And I recognised my post description in there!!

I have re-written my bio so many times...as you say, it still sucks. :-(

We should have a committee that would pronounce these things Done! Sigh ... it probably wouldn't work. I'd just wake up in a new world some morning and *need* to change my profile. Maybe we should capture all of them as a self-reflection exercise ... too bad I missed the first 27 versions.

I wound up rewriting my bio-profile TWICE from this exercise. Thank you to @M.E. Rothwell for providing the playground for this exercise.
