I took this outside Shafter, California. It is a fallen vineyard. What you see is a vine that has been torn from the ground. I see beauty in its service & in its death. What do you see? Use the image to inspire your creativity as well as the written prompts.
Each
day, a quote, an image, several questions and a writing prompt are
offered to you
to use for Your Blogging, Writing & Creative Inspiration in order to
increase your creative thinking as well as your personal and soulful
development
Quote
“Finding beauty in a broken world is creating beauty in the world we find.”
Terry Tempest Williams
Questions:
What do you find beautiful that most people do not find beautiful?
What are your favorite ways to create beauty?
What can you do to create beauty on a daily basis?
Where do you find beauty?
Lists
List 5 to 10 ways you can create beauty in the world you find.
List 5 to 10 ways you can share the beauty with others who right now, do not see it?
After you make your lists, choose the one that resonates the most and use it to create a personalized writing prompt.
Traditional writing prompts:
Beauty is…..
I notice the world is broken when……
I can make a difference by…..
Bonus Field Trip:
The next time you drive in a not-so-pretty place, take time to let the beauty find you. Sketch or write what you see. Write about what makes it different, now that you know it as beautiful.

One helpful strategy is to read the quote, questions, prompt and list and not to "take them on" all at once, but to allow them to simmer in the back of your mind throughout the day. Sure, you may "write" one immediately, but don't call it "done" until you have allowed your powerful subconscious mind to bring up some unexpected responses for your conscious mind to create within.
Remember,
though - there are no rights and wrongs, there is only showing up for
your life and your creativity. Brava for being here!!
This Blog Series was
created to increase your creative thinking process as well as
inspire writing
and ideas to take form that may not have taken form without these specific
quotes, questions and prompts. If you find them helpful, I hope you will pass
them along to friends as well.
I’m so glad you are here, reading and creating.
