Tree talks

Today is all about you and your time with a tree. Curious? Read on.

Here are your instructions:

Go to a tree. When you arrive at the tree, set a timer for 15 minutes. Visit the tree for those 15 minutes. You are not allowed to do anything but visit the tree. How’d that go?

Send your responses to me HERE, and I will publish them in next week’s blog installment, along with your first name, city, and state. Subscribers, simply hit reply to this email with your tree notes.

I’ll post my own thoughts next week. In the meantime, I’m heading out to find my tree.

*The above is a writing exercise from a fun and creative journal by Hank & John Green called The Book of Good Times. I learned about it from a dear cousin who bought the journal, a Kickstarter project, through them.

*Has My Blonde Life inspired or entertained you? If you wish to toss a tip into my writerly coffers, here's how you can do it: @Tamara-Schierkolk (Venmo), @TamaraSchierkolk (PayPal), or $TamaraSchierkolk (Cash App)

*Names in this blog have been changed to protect my family, neighbors, and friends in the neighborhood, and in a nod of appreciation to the beloved Swedish author Maj Lindman, I’ve renamed my three blondies Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka.
