2024 Is Going to Be The Best Year Ever, Middle-Pause!
We’ve got plans for you!
Hello, My Sisters!
I believe this year is a year full of hope and opportunities! MP has lots of plans, things in the works, and new goals. We may also be revising a bit.
But it’s still a secret. Heck, I just got the memo! Kidding aside, our team is going to meet sometime this month to discuss the future of MP. I'll let you know ASAP what’s up.
But I know a few things per Cindy Heath: in the 30-day period from Dec. 3 to Jan. 3, we had 182,550 minutes read in the MP!
Woo-Hoo!
One of my goals is to grow MP to 3,000 followers by the end of the year. I’ll let you know about how we’re gonna accomplish that goal, too.
In the meantime, I decided we will have a monthly theme in addition to Marilyn Flower’s weekly prompts. This will give you ideas to get your creative juices flowing!
Here’s the list:
Jan: Women Feb: Love March: Family April: Menopause May: Caregiving — yourself, parents, grandchildren, etc. June: Writing July: Diversity Aug: Relationships Sept: Trauma Oct. Triumphs Nov: Gratitude Dec: Giving
Let’s get to writing!
