Blog of Jennifer J. Wilhoit/TEALarbor stories: Monday Musings WRITING PRACTICE: “Serving"

Welcome!

Welcome! This is a place to share how we celebrate & deepen our relationship to Nature. Here you will find stories, images, & ideas about wilderness, human nature, & soulfulness. Drawing from the experiences of everyday living, the topics on this blog include: forays into the natural world, the writing life, community service, meditation, creativity, grief & loss, inspiration, & whatever else emerges from these. I invite you on this exploration of the wild within & outside of us: the inner/outer landscape.

Monday Musings WRITING PRACTICE: “Serving"

TEALarbor stories’ Monday Musings are quotes, poems, & practices offering simple ways to explore the ecotone of the inner/outer landscape.

Take some quick notes brainstorming about how you can give back to your community this holiday season. Prioritize the ideas that you really feel moved by. Write down your top three choices for volunteerism and flesh them out into full-sentence commitments. Place a date and location beside each commitment. Now put those on your calendar. Take whatever preparatory steps you need to in order to turn your commitments into actual experiences of serving the needs of people around you. We are all interconnected: writing turns to action on behalf of another who is already part of us.
