Daily Nourishment for October 18, 2024: The Important and the Unimportant
Daily Nourishment Read Time: 45 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes
“The [kitchen junk] drawer is a subconscious storage unit; a holding port of the owner where the important and the unimportant share space, experience and storytelling.” - Peggy Robles-Alvarado
Pause.
Take six deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale.
Practice.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and make a list of things that are in your kitchen “junk drawer” or a fictional character’s kitchen junk drawer.
Pick three items from the list and write true or fictional details and stories about each.
In the coming hours and days, use your list and additional details to begin writing a new story, essay, poem, or letter to a friend.
