New Feature: A Weekly Journaling Prompt – Making Up Our Minds

I’ve been conducting thematic journaling workshops for two years now. I always start them with a short writing prompt everyone can do in ten minutes or less. I’ll be putting these on LGBTSr now as well.  Ready, set, write! – Mark

This week’s writing prompt

March can’t make up its mind. One day it’s a winter coat, the next day it’s a windbreaker. Two days ago it was 82 degrees, now it’s freezing.

But March isn’t the only one hedging. Many of us have something in our lives right now that can’t quite decide what it wants to be — a relationship in a holding pattern, a project that keeps almost getting started, a metamorphosis that has us half-caterpillar, half-butterfly.

Write about your own “coat or no coat” moment. What in your life is stuck between two things right now — between starting and stopping, staying and leaving, hoping and letting go? What would it feel like to finally just decide?
