Writing with Rox Weekly Prompt—"I Am Squishy Yummy Love"

new agey-rockstar rox
Last week in Word Jam we wrote about our rock star selves, the lives we'd be living if we were "living the dream," as they say. One of the amazingly creative and dreamy herself members of the group suggested we explore this on the page by imagining we were making a living/thriving/living by doing (or not doing) something we were naturally good at and/or something we loved, which can be the same thing. Sitting on the beach. Yoga. Chanting. Scrapbooking. Making tea. Asking questions. Collecting seashells. Noticing all the shades of blue. Highlighting. Feeling the blood running through your veins. Shopping. Running late. Complaining about traffic. Procrastinating....

"So Roxy," my dreamy student offered, "you could write about how to make a living flirting."

Well. That's a backstory we needn't explore here, now, but I ran with it. (Confession: part of me dreams of being one of those cheesy Motivational Speaker types (with more truth and vulnerability and less cheese) where I soapbox about the generous heartfelt teachings that have been passed along to me through the many elders.). In a former post, I wrote about the idea of a LOVELAND. Let's just imagine the following excerpt takes place there:

"Good evening all of you lovely edible squishy delicious beings of light and love and juicy squishiness with wisdom candle-ing out every single glorious life-giving pore...Welcome all Lovelies and Loveables.. to the Beach and the Writing with Rox ongoing series entitled "I am Squishy Yummy Love." Tonight's program is about how to write an authentic simple squishy yummy single's profile for the Writing with Rox community making, lonely no more, love seeking, being website and songbook (www.writingwithroxsquishyyummylove.blogspot.com) and/or any other single's website or community building cyberplace of your choosing.  Before we begin writing, Loveables, we must first go inward by closing our eyes and envisioning ourselves in a lovable world, where we are 100% certain that we are loved. What does that look like? Feel like? To be lovable here and now just as you are. We'll begin by writing "what I  love..."  After the break, they'll be a single's writ-a-thon upstairs which will run until tomorrow morning. Thanks so much for coming. Let's write..."

Boy, writing is fun. You never know where you will end up. So that's it then: What is your make a living doing (or not doing) what you love soapbox speech? What does it look like? How does it run? Do you have employees helping you pick the herbs for the tea? Do you have question askers to ask you questions for your question-asking business? Trust that as you write it will go exactly where it needs to!

And, oh yeah, the flirting thing. My brilliant squishy dreamy student wondered if I ever help folks write single's profiles for their sweet love-wishing hearts and I said "but of course!" I meant to do a workshop on this around Valentine's Day, but well... anyway, summer's coming which means skin will be showing, flowers budding, and singers singing! Love will be in the air, where it always is, and surely, if you want to court thee some yummy squishy love via the cyber loveways, I am here to help. It's official: Writing with Rox now offering "How to Write a Squishy Yummy Authentic Single's Profile."
