SNY February Writing Challenge: Transform

I came up with this challenge for no other reason than it being necessary. February is a great month for reflection. Mainly because the newness of the New Year is starting to fade and we need to refuel and reenergize to keep up the enthusiasm. Also, not only is it Black History Month but it is also a month coined for the display of love. Whether you’re single, unhappily attached or, just head over heels for someone – everything good starts with a little love.

I’ve created a random topic for each day to help spark the part of your heart that loves without intention and reminds you that you’re human. Life often times makes us forget that we can even operate in those spaces. I think that if we condition our minds to think outside “what’s happening,” we’ll being to change the world. Whether you write and post your thoughts publicly or in private, I hope these topics transform your head space. I’ll be participating as well.
