Playfully Ending 2025:
How this old lady is reviewing, reflecting & restoring her optimism even when the world feels like it is crumbling all around us.

I decided to close out the last 100 days of 2025 with a poem of reunion daily... connecting early days with now. Join me in this playful writing experiment! #amwriting #dailypoetry #amwriting open.substack.com/pub/juliejor...
Finally finishing up reading “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Truman Capote. The ending sounds quite different than the beginning - and I’m glad to have finally read it. I wonder how different the movie is?

My wish for you today is that when reality and other dreariness tries to stop your dreams of writing, you stomp on them and keep going.

Because I don't have choir this morning nor do I have spirit chat, I took myself out to breakfast, went for a beautiful walk, uploaded two shorts to YouTube and made to playlist covers. Seems like a productivity fire was lit! Have a great Sunday everyone!

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Tonight I was going to do something fun alone. At just the moment it was about to begin, a mother and a young boy were standing in front of me. I whispered to the Mom, “would you two like to….” On the ride he said “This is a dream come true!” Joy.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

One of the cruelest things about mental illness is that it can isolate very loving, empathetic people from the most intimate relationships. I wrote this poem when I was in a psych ward, thinking about others—known and unknown—who have carried life this way. 🖤

the dream-myth lurched back and forth
forth and back on the railroad tracks
of my past. It was trying to
tell me something.
Yesterday’s vast villains
populating your inner myths
may actually be helpers in
tomorrow’s reality.

Good morning. Today's word is #myth, like the exhortation to writers that we must keep subbing until agents begin fighting over who should have the privilege of representing us.
Or the Tooth Fairy. Your choice. Have fun!

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! I’ve been awake for an hour. I wanted to say something snazzy for y’all… and what I found in my ancient writings was, “Play me backwards in your sleeping dreams so that you might finally get it” and I realized that’s what happened in alarm clock dream. #amwriting
