I got a facetime call from my bff yesterday when I was watching The Bachelor. She told me she was stressed to the billionth degree for a multitude of reasons and then showed me a you tube video she was watching about a yoga sequence.

"Katie!!" I screeched. "We should do yoga!"

She interrupted, "Michelle! Like, we could do it on facetime! Like right now!"

"YES!!! Okay let me teach you Sun A!"

So we propped our phones and did some yoga together. I taught her Sun A - Mountain, Backbend, Mountain, Forward Fold, Halfway Lift, Ball Pose - and she did another sequence with me that I knew better than her, ha! She missed Hot Triangle!

"Katie, your sequence is all work-outy. I don't want to get sweaty," I told her as I plopped back down on the couch. Then I took a pic of our facetime call --------->


And so what I want to share about writers - is your stories start to come to you all day, every day, in all the small moments of life. Just like that one. Katie, do you love my pic?

And the good news - end of the call Katie felt better. The yoga and the laughing and the funny stories about kids (told her about Quenese's blog that was so funny to me!) - all of it made her feel better. And that's what friends, and facetime yoga, is for.

And then look in your day for your stories - you will find them when you are away from your computer!
