I’m a woman who’s old enough to know that if you want to master a skill, it takes practice, practice, practice. Unfortunately, I resist the regular practice of anything, even though everything I value demands it: writing, public speaking, playing an instrument, meditation, yoga ….
My problem: how to propel myself towards persistent practice? Pontificate publicly and prolifically on a blog. I love words, especially ones that begin with the letter P. If you don’t think P is a fun letter, be sure to watch the Muppets sing about P.

You’re welcome to join the fun. I welcome your p-word suggestions.
PS. Besides writing, I’m a color consultant for people (seasonal color analysis) and homes (palettes and art arrangement) in the Portland/Vancouver metro area.
What’s your stuck place?
I had a dream about P-words last night —– before I was aware of your blog BTW —- modifying words that began with “P” were slowly but relentlessly evaporating from all dictionaries and on-line word sites, some were even dissipating as I watched. I had a very restless and disturbing sleep.
A sincere and envious “Thank you” for your blog. I love it!
Your goals sound similar to mine. I wanted to make regular time for my writing (for which I had NO time). I started three blogs last year, and have managed to find time to keep all three going (on different subjects). I’m sure you’ll find the same thing I did – by having a blog, and the need to post, it WILL help you find a regular time to start writing. Good luck!

Today at a seminar your friend Paul mentioned your blog. I thought I would check it out and I LOVE it. What and awesome idea. I especially love your goal to write daily. I have found that harder to do as I have continued my blog for the past year and a half. Thank you for your sense of humor and honesty. I can’t wait to read more.

Thank you for your kind comments. It’s great to hear from a Toastmaster. I enjoy your P-filled blog!
Interesting concept to choose ‘p’ as a theme. I am also enjoying the challenge of writing regularly. The blog world has become quite addictive and a wonderful motivator.
I was looking for words that begin with the letter P for the toddler’s I work with as a Developmental Therapist. I loved your web-site. Piping Good Hot!!
Thanks Cassie – I hope you enjoyed the Muppets singing about P too.
Try pusillanimous on those toddlers. Oh wait. I haven’t used that word yet…
