Recently, I found out about a writing challenge from some friends to effectively capture feelings at a moment in time in 25 words. In essence, I could go back 3 months from now and read the 25 word post below and say ‘That’s what I was thinking about on July 19th’.
Earlier today, I added my 25 words at a friends website Productivity in Context. Here is my poetic contribution of what was on my mind today.

Mickey Mouse is an american icon!
No matter what generation you are from, Mickey Mouse is part of our culture.
In Disney World’s EPCOT ( “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow”) Center an area is devoted to agricultural technology, where several large greenhouses encompass about 2.5 million square feet of area!
One of the things that EPCOT has been experimenting with in Eco Friendly gardening is growing vegetables within their own self sestaining ecosystems.
In the picture to the right, pumpkins are being grown inside forms shaped to look like Mickey Mouse’s ears. The pumpkins will grow within the form and eventually will take on its full shape characteristics.

Getting to a good level of communication with my kids took some self reflection and has had it’s growing pains. As with anything worthwhile, we get to the next level in our own thinking by re-examining our existing thought patterns, gathering new knowledge, and some basic hard work.
In my own personal growth, many times I feel like an unwilling participant in a flurried session of Whack-A-Mole! The arcade game.
This player is an expert and whacking moles is what he does! Getting whacked over and over does three things well; it makes your head hurt, gives you a renewed sense of urgency, and instills a strong conviction not to do this again!
Properly motivated now, the story moves on…
I did what I always do when life gets rough and I feel a little whacked.
I went to the local Barnes and Noble bookstore - with the connected Starbucks cafe. A girls gotta get a good cup of coffee and unwind sometimes!
