Who are your favorite people to be around? I am probably overthinking this prompt, what else is new? I can’t figure out if it is asking me to talk about specific people or like a generalized concept of people.

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc. Let me start of by saying I’ve never been the biggest fan of my first name. It’s not the worst name by far, I just had some personal struggles with it. Jamie, being a unisex name, led to some issues in early school years.

December
Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge is “December.” I knew from the start this one would be a writing. Let’s dig in. December for me is a time of reflection.

Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge is “cracker”. This one honestly stumped me for a bit. My first thought was firecracker but that didn’t quite make sense that the children who put the list together would call them crackers instead of firecrackers or fireworks given that even in the UK where they live, fireworks … Continue reading Cracker

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. The first person I think of when I read this prompt is my maternal grandfather. He was a quiet man, gentle. He was intelligent and loving. He was also frustratingly stubborn. I myself in him as I get older. He passed away the day before my … Continue reading Daily Prompt – December 18, 2025

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? I love this question because it implies something that I have said for a long time, we never stop learning. We can stop our formal education but we are constantly learning new things in life. We have to. That’s the human experience. As for me, I’ve recently … Continue reading Daily Prompt – December 16, 2025
