Here are a few sample writing prompts, to give you a taste of what's in store...

• Write about a time when you felt like the most charismatic person in the room. Who were you with? How did you stand, speak, and behave?
• Ask yourself whom you would be if you'd made different decisions along your life path. Describe a few of these "alternate selves." Are you a novelist, a singer, a news anchor, a pilot? Delve deep into your imagination. What would your daily life be like? How would your life be different?
• List as many things as you can that you find to be extremely fun. Now list as many things as you can that make you laugh. How often do you make time for these things?
• What would your perfect life look like? If everything in your life were perfect, what would you be doing? With whom would you surround yourself? Where would you live and work? Describe this perfect life in as much detail as possible. How well does this ideal life match with your present life?
• If you could plant a seed and grow anything in the world, what would you plant, and where would you plant it? (Feel free to think metaphorically here. Instead of pumpkins, maybe you'll plant seeds of consciousness, or seeds of change, or seeds of self-confidence in your children...)
• Who was your first best friend? Write with as much detail as you can. Why did you hit it off so well? What happened to that relationship?
• Describe your childhood home. It can be especially meaningful to look up your childhood address on Google Earth. Does seeing it again trigger any new memories? Write a letter to the child who once lived there.
