Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge Day 30 #HAWMC
Day 30 of the WEGO Health Activist Writer’s Month which I have signed up for – a month dedicated to the art of writing about health. Today’s prompt:
Word Cloud. Make a word cloud or tree with a list of words that come to mind when you think about your blog, health, or interests.
Thoughts on completing #HAWMC
I have discovered through this past month how much I love visuals, so this is a great exercise to end on. I can’t remember which of my blogging friends said at the beginning of this month, that it was a little like pulling back the window on an Advent calendar. And it’s a great description. Each day I felt a ripple of excitement wondering what the writing challenge would be. Some days, I felt they were made for me..others my heart sank a little, as I felt the challenge of going outside my comfort zone – needless to say those days taught me the most about myself and were the most memorable part of this journey.
I wish I could say I used this month to discover new blogs – that really was what I had hoped to do at the outset – but it turned out to be such a busy time for me with work, that I just about managed to write my own posts and dip into those of some of my favourite bloggesses. I regret that I couldn’t read more blogs, but I am delighted that I got to learn new things about my friends who joined me in this challenge.
I am going to miss this exercise in many ways, but I am also looking forward to getting back to my old blogging routine. I’ve missed the guest posts, Mindful Monday and weekly round-up regulars, so I guess I learned that in the end, while it is fun to step outside and and try something new now and then, I love the comfort of familiarity and routine.
Normal service will soon be returning here on Journeying Beyond Breast Cancer…after I take a well-deserved rest 🙂
I’ve enjoyed your HAWMC posts, and am looking forward to the return of your usual posts.

I love your choice of words in your word cloud, Marie. Like you, I will miss this challenge, but I’m also eager to get back to routine. The prompts for pictorial representations posed big challenges for me, because I had never created online posters and clouds before. Now I know some new and effective ways to get messages across.
Thanks for joining along with me in this challenge. Without you, Renn and Yvonne, the exercise would have been impossible to complete. Thank you! xx

I agree Jan! Doing this challenge on my own would have been really difficult and no fun at all!

This poster would look great hung on a wall! Very inspiring. I too am looking forward to resuming a less deadline-driven blogging schedule. After tomorrow’s post I’ll be taking a little blogging siesta myself!
Marie, had I not seen you and Jan (and then Yvonne) doing this challenge, I would never have known about it, or started it, or finished it. But I’m so glad I did. Thanks, you guys!
