a few things i could do without

another set of earphones that don't work

humidity over sixty degrees

fruit flies and mosquitoes

wet newspaper

expired cream

favorite granola sold out

that strange noise my car is making

helicopter hovering over my meditation

more dandelions

that gray hair growing out of my eyebrow

dental hygienists with something to sell

internet outage

reluctant menopause

mascara, pantyhose and perfume

voicemails from the 'FBI' or 'IRS'

complainers :)

A little applause, please, for all we endure, a little inspiration to clear away anything in your life that no longer serves you or a spark to make a poem out of riff-raff.

Let a card from the TellMe Insight Cards™ decks choose you and lead you onto a page of your journal, a personal letter or the beginnings of a memoir or poem.

Take turns drawing a random card to evoke personal storytelling. Practice compassionate listening in return. Get beyond talking about the weather and learn about someone through their stories, memories and insights.
