Today's Writing Prompt: Divorce

What are your experiences with divorce? It's hard to be untouched by it in today's society. Have you gone through it? Your friends? Your parents?

Oh yes, I have experienced divorce . . . and at a very young age . . . mostly because 18-year-olds don't always make great life decisions.  This is the reason it took my dear hubby of 31 years almost 2 years to talk me into marriage.  He was definitely persistent, thank goodness.


Only one blog post for today and it is perfect for getting ready for a scrapbooking crop and also for organizing your scrap space:

No Brainer Day

When : Always February 27th

No Brainer Day - now this day is for me!

By definition, a "No brainer" is dong something that is simple, easy, obvious, and/or totally logical. Therefore, today is the day for you to do all those "no brainer" tasks and activities. If a project requires thinking, study, or analysis of any kind, then its not the chore to do today.

Some people think that Christmas should be every day of the year. They even sing that theme in popular holiday songs. But, we think that No Brainer Day should be every day of the year.

We think you'll quickly get the hang of the concept of the day. And, were certain you will excel at No Brainer Day!

Origin of No Brainer Day:

This day was created by Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, 'America's Premier Eventologist' - per Insight Magazine - Washington, DC - August, 1995, and 'The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World - per The Chicago Tribune - Chicago, Il - January 2001.

This is a really special and valuable day. Creating it, therefore, would be a no brainer! Documenting it, however, may not quite fit the spirit of the day.
