Challenge Three - Metaphor
Day #3: Finding adjectives from nouns Pat Pattison, Song Writing without Boundaries Metaphors will continue to be a struggle for me! I enjoy them but struggle with writing them and I am not finding them easy in much the same way I struggle with fiction. This is my way to attempt to get better. I thought of skipping this part but no, not me! I would appreciate any tips to make this easier for me. I really do enjoy metaphors, I just can't consistently write them. Please remember that when it is a timed writing, you may need to finish the line yourself.

What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978.

A Few Of My Favorite Stories
“The Eagle Story” I tell this story when working with people who have trauma, grief, and loss work to do. The many people who are giving up drugs, alcohol, sugar, overworking, gambling, etc. Those traumas have been self-medicated by using one of the above and others.

What Did I Learn From My First Love?
My first love taught me... Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts My first husband taught me about the love between a man and a woman. I was young, a teen but I understood clearly what that was when I met him. I was 15 when I met him and he was 21 years old. He was one of my best friends' older brother.
