What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? There might be other things from my youth but the thing that comes to mind at the moment is flying to Florida from Virginia unplanned because my partner ended up in the ER with heart concerns.

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. This is often a hard topic for me because of my complicated relationship with my family but thinking back and remembering that this doesn’t have to be recent or a family member who is alive. I can more easily answer this prompt. My grandfather, … Continue reading Daily Prompt – April 15, 2026

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. It’s probably meant to be ambiguous so I could write however I interpret it but my … Continue reading Daily Prompt – February 20, 2026

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. While many people use the holidays and especially the New Year to look forward and plan for the year ahead, I like to think … Continue reading December
Cracker
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
Present
Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge was present. Now this is one of those tricky English words that has multiple meanings but given that the list was based on words children gave when asked what they thought of when they thought about Christmas and New Years, I’m going to go with the gift definition. … Continue reading Present
Santa
Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge is Santa. Growing up Jewish, Santa wasn’t really a thing but the motif has always been present. The first thing I thought of when I saw this prompt was the traditional Santa face. I thought I could glass etch that on to something maybe an ornament and that … Continue reading Santa

Share what you know about the year you were born. 1979, the year I was born. The end of the 70s. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about the year. I know it’s the title of a song. I know I have a pen made from blank named 1979 which apparently was named by … Continue reading Daily Prompt – December 23, 2025
