I have made a momentous, not exactly knee jerk decision to participate again in the write31days challenge.
I wrote last year as well, but stopped midway through because - as happens in challenges - life sometimes gets in the way.
I decided this time I would incorporate what I am doing into the write31days so it will be a way to marry inspiration, discipline and content rather than creating a new brand of content.
It is intriguing because I happened upon last year’s challenge - which I am slightly embarrassed to say I had forgotten - when looking at my flickr folder for last October.
This is one of the unique challenges with being so prolific and constantly letting go - you leave behind some really good work! With that in mind, I have been curating former projects of mine for the last couple weeks and I literally have to keep at myself to continue.
Welcome to my world of write31days. I will focus on writing (as a Creativity Coach with writing as my anchor art, how could I not?).
My writing will be Bold Stories in Choice & Voice. Each day this page will be updated with new stories.

I revisited Thoreau this morning - he is one of my many dead man crushes - and he reminded me I make bold choices daily. Now it is time to put voice to that.
Thank you, each and all, and especially my friends, The Nester, for once again bringing this challenge into the limelight, and Charity Craig, for reminding me (even though she didn't know it!)
