Want to feel valued and appreciated by the woman in your life? Do her dishes!

Do Her Dishes

Don't buy red roses
at the flower shop!

She prefers lilac petals...

Actually, forget those too!

Do all her dishes instead!

Hand wash every single
dirty dish and plate
sitting in her sink.

Amaze her!

Watch her lean into
her Aphrodite energy.

She'll sigh with joy
Her eyes will get that
soft bedroom glow...

As she watches you do her dishes!

Vulnerability is the purest form of self-love. Poets are brave souls who risk rejection every single day when they share their words with the world.

hosted the Writer's Mingle in September at the , sponsored by and .

She briefly talked about Su***de Prevention Month, her work with Lady Gaga's Foundation, .official, and how a smile and showing people it's ok to be imperfect can save a life.

Participants were encouraged to journal or write a poem with the theme "Bad Blood", to release feelings of anger or resentment.

Many participants chose to bravely step up to the mic and share their poems. Afterwards, they talked about feeling cathartic sense of release.

Write your own poem to release built up anger, rage, and regret. If you are struggling withlife and intense emotions, send us a DM or call 615-906-6475 for support and resources!

Vulnerability is the ultimate act of self-love! It requires us to set down our shields of shame, and show up as our true selves, all the while knowing we may be shunned, criticized or ridiculed for it.

Much love and gratitude to the brave writers, poets and all who attended September's Writer's Mingle sponsored by Poetry in the Boro and MTSU Writes, and hosted by Sara Minges.

Much love and gratitude to the brave poets for sharing their poems with the group. A bit different than previous events, we discussed how poetry can be a cathartic tool for releasing anger and healing our hearts.

We also talked about how a smile and letting people know you care how they are doing cansave a life.

Participants were encouraged to write for 5 minutes on the topic of "Bad Blood." Most of the participants chose to step up to the mic and read their poems aloud to the group.

We were amazed by the raw depth of emotion and imagery! From complicated family relationships, hometowns, heartbreak from relationships ending, it was a transformational moment of healing.
80% of artists struggle with a significant mental health issue. Yet, they choose to process their pain through art and share it with the world. In essence, they unapologetically let themselves be judged.

We encourage you to write your own poem about "Bad Blood". If you are struggling with releasing emotional pain, healing from heartache, or feel like joy is missing in your life, please call 615-906-6475 or send a private message.

Sara loved meeting the delightful owner and was sad to learn the shop is closing on Tuesday, August 19.

If you care about supporting local businesses and are able to help, please consider giving a donation! Or, if you have any leads on commercial space or fundraising, please send them a private message. Even liking and sharing this post will help! Much love!❤️💜

Aloha to the House with the Red Door on Fontana Street!👋

I remember when Donna painted your door red...

I taught Jack how to play the beloved Minges tradition of "The Penny Game" on your steps...

Dad tried to teach me how to lay in the hammock next to the big tree in the back... and promptly fell out... lol!

I beat Dad at Scrabble (20+ points) the very first time sitting in the kitchen at the table that Grandpa built.

Hope the new owner loves you as much as we do!

Okay, I did the uncomfortable, scary thing. That's me on stage, singing "Shut Up and Drive" (Chely Wright version) karoake style .

Cody and Katie, a delightful couple with amazing voices, convinced me to get on stage.

I think my voice sounds so much better in the shower, or in the car. Yet, we often regret the chances we don't take.

I confess, it was lots of fun! Check out karoake night every other Tuesday at !
