I will count you in Tiffany, but no pressure. Tag us if you are inspired to write something based on this!

Thanks Tiffany, you know what. The future is now! I know how busy you are though, but it would be great to hear your perspective.

Thanks for reading.

I meant later as in sometime later in the month, not later as in “I’m postponing this indefinitely.” I’m in for sure!

Woohoo, great stuff Tiffany

I'd love to take part! How can I see other people's pieces to get inspired and make friends?

Margo, thanks for asking, this made me realized the challenge of running a challenge lol.

So to keep things organized, here's a summary and a google sheet for everyone to enter entries:

Oh no I made you feel more challenged lol Never my intention. I'll check out the document. Thanks ❤️🙏🏼

You challenge us to challenge ourselves, so we can challenge you to challenge yourself… haha.. seems like it’s turning out to be a tongue twister.

Expand full comment

Haha 😄

That's great Margo, you raise a very good point, there's no easy way to do that. I'm going to post a note when I get on my computer shortly and I'll tag the authors who have written posts so far and post the submitted articles as comments.

People can potentially use that to post their entries as a sort of hub, bookmark the link etc.

It's not the most ideal solution but I think it would work better than a post.

I'll reply to you here and update the post when done.

Wonderful!

Great idea Mark, it does get confusing after a while. I have done a few challenges, so hope you don't mind if I jumped in and created a google sheets for easy tracking.

Not at all, teamwork makes the dream work!

I love this concept.

I posted a brief article about kaleidoscopes a couple months ago.

A slight adjustment of our mindset and our perspective could be completely different. ✨

Brief but brilliant, thanks for posting it, I think there are life lessons in lots of things, I wrote one for my daughter this morning from a "spider incident". I'd never have thought to do it before I started writing. Back then a kaleidoscope was just a pretty toy, now it's so much more!

Expand full comment

It's wonderful that you are integrating writing into your life. I could see a great writer in the works! Maybe you'll inspire your daughter to become a writer too.

Expand full comment

I love your perspective and it's when we are willing to make little changes here and there, making adaptations that we thrive, and aligning with your description of a kaleidoscope. Wonderful article Erica :)

Wonderful!

I’ll look forward to reading more of what you share.

Yes, life lessons surround us.

I happened to read all of the "luck" pieces and wondered if it was a collab. I'm down to try it. Stay Tuned.

Love it. @Mark The Tipping Point is the end of the year and we need to face our resolutions.

Expand full comment

It is, however I messed the dates up in the post, I've changed it now but if you came from email or saw if before I swooped in and altered it it might seem like all year. Oops 😬

Expand full comment

Mark, we'll count you in as well. Isn't this a great way to start our resolutions :)

Expand full comment

Brilliant Idea. Every now and then I am presented with such concepts, but I don't get involved as they often feel like a marketing ploy. I have no such qualms this time, maybe because I Know, Like & Trust Moon already, maybe because it's a bit similar to a prize competitions idea I'm formulation for @thiscreativeadventure.com

Erm... Mark I'm a bit confused about the date you give, please clarify. Also - if you receive any submissions in Nederlands, I'd be happy to proof read any translations for you... Respect, Maurice

Expand full comment

Thanks again Maurice, if you could also proof read my English posts, especially checking for dates, I've rectified it now. It's open all month!

Expand full comment

erm all month as in 31 Jan, or A month as in 7 Feb ? Before others ask......

Expand full comment

Let's make it till 31 Jan for simplicity's sake!

Expand full comment

Uhuh, never been called Simplicity before, lol Maurice

Expand full comment

New nickname for you :)

And do you know my favourite concept is Simple = Profound

Does that describe you, dear Maurice?

Expand full comment

In for this, great initiative from both of you! I've this month, right?

Expand full comment

Happy that you are joining Mayank, yup this is running for 1 month for now! Tag us when you publish something.

Expand full comment

One month ? The stated deadline is December 2025 ! Am I missing something ?

Expand full comment

It's not you Maurice, it's me, thanks for proof reading it for me! I still thought it was December 🤷‍♂️

Expand full comment

As suspected then.... and erm, what was your Xmas Pud laced with ?

Expand full comment

Mark eats paper for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Expand full comment

A bit of salt and pepper to taste 🤣

Expand full comment

Thanks Mayank, yeah you've got until the end of the month, someone (me) messed the dates up in the post! Looking forward to reading.

Expand full comment

For sure!

Thank you so much for a fabulous idea, I've just posted mine and look forward to reading everyone elses over the weekend!

Expand full comment

Thank you for your entry 😁

Expand full comment

I'm in! :D

So, just to double check: I have up to the end of this month to write an article entitled "The Tipping Point"?

Expand full comment

Awesome Dom, yes you've got until the end of January, you can call your post whatever you like, or even just do a note but the theme of it should be, "the tipping point", interpret it how you will 😁

I LOVE it! Thank you :)
