Adventures in Alliteration This is alliteration with patience and intention. No rush, just resonance. Let your creativity flow. Today tell us how the sunshines for you

Today centers around: Motivation (How do you get your day started ?) A small trace. A mark left without explanation. What you offer can be brief. A line. An image. An acknowledgment. Leave it where attention happened to land.
