@JonAcuff Simple twist. I love it.

[Jon Acuff @JonAcuff]

In the first 34 years of my life, I wrote 0 books.

In the last 13 years I’ve written 10 books.

What changed? Lots.

One thing that really helped was that I learned how to apply my imagination to my creativity, instead of my anxiety.

[Marilyn DeVries @marilyn_devries]

@JonAcuff Excellent idea.

[Marilyn DeVries @marilyn_devries]

I DON’T WANT TO BE SICK. A young child is sick for the day. They feel the tingling and mingling feelings and find relief in doing things with their family. Soon the day is over and the doubly bubbly child helps others in the family cope with the mucky yucky feelings.
