Daily Nourishment for November 11, 2024: For Veterans Day
Daily Nourishment Read Time: 30 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes
Pause.
Take six deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale. Then make a list of any veterans you know as a sort of meditation of remembering.
Practice.
“Television Academy Foundation’s The Interviews: An Oral History of Television (formerly the Archive of American Television) has been conducting in-depth, videotaped oral history interviews with television professionals, including actors, writers, editors, and journalists. These interviews explore the lives and careers of the interviewees, and often touch on important historical moments and movements.”
Take a few minutes to listen to one or more of the interviews here.
Then set a timer for seven minutes and journal or take notes in response to the article above and the interviews.
If you like, write a micro fan fiction story using the article or an interview as your inspiration.
