Happy New Year, Friends!

As we usher out the old and welcome in the new, the month of January can become a time of reflection and introspection. For more than a decade I have used the month of January as a time to observe and jump-start my creativity in the form of a daily haiku. I would welcome companions on my haiku challenge — even if you don’t want to write each day.

I invite you to follow me on Instagram @pamressler and @stressresources, Facebook @StressResources and X (formerly Twitter) @pamressler where I will be using the hashtag #HaikuChallenge24.

We can also do a bit of a “call and response” on this blog where I welcome you to post your haiku in the comment section each day.

For a bit of a primer of haiku — they are simply brief mindful poems (that don’t rhyme :-) based in the present moment. You might want to use the familiar 5 — 7 — 5 syllables on three lines…or a more free form version. You can get a look at previous haiku by scrolling through my blog.

Looking forward to sharing haiku with you beginning tomorrow, January 1, 2024
