First off, I'd like to start by saying a big "Thank you" for making this little blog project of mine worth it. Every time I log in and see comments to be moderated, I jump for joy that someone is (a) actually reading this, and (b) that you were actually inspired to write in response to the prompt. It is you guys that keep me going each week, even when I feel lost for a prompt.
Which brings me to my next point. I'm trying hard to avoid repeating myself too much in these prompts, but when I realized that I've been doing these prompts for over 1.5 years already, I knew it was time to get you guys in on the act again.
So consider this an open call for ideas. Anything you might want to write about, topics you may have covered on your own that others might want to explore, or just about anything related to this path we all travel that might be worth blogging about. Please, share any and all ideas, and I'll stash them away to be used in the weeks to come.
And don't think now is the only time to share ideas. If you come up with something 5 months from now, and I haven't asked for more input by then, by all means, come back here and post your ideas. I will surely see them and add to the list.
Thanks again for being here each week! Hope to keep this going for as long as possible.

I honestly don't come to your blog that often, as I take advantage of your RSS feed. So it comes to my customer newspaper I read in the morning before I start my day. While I know I should journal - I don't nearly as often as I should. But I like your prompts, because it gives me ideas to ponder and meditate on. So while I'm not using them exactly as intended - I really do appreciate them.
As for repeats - fine by me - do we not follow a wheel of the year which repeats?
Prompting ideas - the concept of sharing our path with children: what do you teach to your own kids, in interfaith work, how do they handle it in school?
Raise ethical questions - thats usually enough to get the heart pumping. Staying on the kids theme - is it ethical to teach a teen if there parents do not agree? How would you support them?
Support: how are we caring for our families, our neighbours, dealing with our places of employment from a pagan perspective? Out at work? How would that make your life worse/better?
Dreaming for the future: I think we all dream of a sanctuary like Circle Sanctuary -- what would yours look like if you had the captial to make it happen? How would it support the community?
Diversity: There are different cultures and ideas in your community do you know your neighbours? We've just passed Diwali - do you know how its celebrated?
Okay must stop now -- but keep doing your work. This lurker and busy career pagan mom - loves them.
Off to walk the dog for some quiet time before I wake the kids and start my day.
Oh did we have prompts for balance? *laugh*
Thanks,
Lisa
Love. I have been teaching a Wiccan class on love, sacred sex, divine love, love for the divine, love through the chakras. I would be very interested to hear people's thought on love, especially if they can avoid cliches.
Thanks for doing this blog SunFire!
