The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Proverbs 21:5
Last Friday was the last day of our holiday and my heart felt a little heavy. The pace we had been living over the last month has been a slow one and it’s been satisfying to the soul to not be rushing around. The thought of going back to the hectic lifestyle we led sent my heart fluttering in a panic.
So, it’s come out in the news over the last week about Michael Cohen. He was a longtime personal and business attorney for Donald Trump. He has pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges.

Here we are again for another Five Minute Friday, where a number of writers gather for a weekly writing challenge around a single word prompt and write to our hearts content, but only for five minutes (or there abouts – I took a little longer this week).
This weeks word prompt is ‘release’ and I am sharing what I feel about releasing our stories. Click here if you want to see what other people wrote. You can also have a go yourself. What do you think of when you hear the word ‘release’?
Having a regret in life is something that can tear us apart, inside and out. We have regrets when we make bad decisions in learning, when we are in love, and when we lose something. We also have regrets when we blame ourselves for something or when we are scared and being held back by fear.
I’ve probably had many regrets in my life, but I’ve got over most of them. The one thing I regret most in my life though is my choice in education. I don’t have a degree. Yeah, ok, so a degree doesn’t define me, I know that. But, when people look at your qualifications on a piece of paper before they know you, it does define you.
