Creating a Time Capsule

Hello, Dear One,

So glad you are here.

Today's creativity prompt may seem like the most obvious of all so far, but I think it is important to think about - both from a historical standpoint as well as a way to process your thoughts and emotions during this time.

I want you to write about how this Quarantine time is affecting you and what it has been like for you.

Pretend you are writing to your grandchildren or great-great- grandchildren, or that you are putting a letter or memoir into a little time capsule for someone in the future and you want to let people know what this time in history has meant, thus far, to you.

What is your strongest visual image from Quarantine? Pajama pants? The bathtub? Zoom meetings?

What will your Quarantine scent be?

I have a friend who rarely drinks but now has a whiskey on the rocks every night. (Whiskey will be her scent.)

Another friend told me she is painting her nails on her own for the first time in years. (Nail polish will be her scent.)

You can write it like a letter, a journal entry, a newspaper article, a special in a magazine, a chapter in a book that you will someday publish, a pretend news report that you get your whole family in on filming...there are so many ways you could express this little time capsule and I'm sure you can come up with even more unique ideas...but let yourself record what your life in April of the year 2020 really feels like.

Who knows? Someday it may be more significant than we could imagine.

And don't forget, the most important story you'll ever tell...is the one you tell yourself.

There is so much love for you here,

JennyRebecca

P.S. I'd love to hear or read your time capsule! Feel free to tag me or send it to me over e-mail, or even share it with the group on Facebook!
