Nadine J Walters – My Life

Question to myself: How is your project going and what are you learning?

My answer: I’m genuinely pleased with how this project is unfolding, and in the process, I’m learning a little more about myself. One of the surprising lessons is how challenging it can be to choose a topic each day—and how surprisingly easy it is to write once I do. As I shape my thoughts and put words on the page, I begin to shape the way I think and move through the world, too.

At the start, I didn’t expect finding a daily prompt would be so tricky. I had a tidy list of questions ready—ones I thought would be thought-provoking and fun to answer. But as I went along, I realized some questions were redundant, others needed to be answered with another question, and a few just didn’t resonate at all. So I shifted. I started crafting questions based on what I observed each day, moments that struck me, things I read or heard, or even random musings. Today feels like one of those “wandering” days, so I thought I’d use this open space to step back and reflect on the project itself.

I’ve discovered that I truly enjoy writing. I enjoy putting thoughts into words, and even though I’m not having a back-and-forth conversation with anyone, I still feel connected through the act of sharing. I’m grateful that there are readers who follow along, but even more than that, I’ve found deep satisfaction in writing simply for myself.

Each time I tackle a new question, something clicks about halfway through. My writing picks up energy, the words flow more freely, and the task becomes joy. It may not always be captivating for others, but that’s okay—this project is about self-discovery and not being afraid to let my voice be heard.

Social media isn’t really my thing, even though I sometimes get sucked into the endless scroll. But there are corners of the internet I do appreciate—especially purposeful YouTube channels that focus on sharing over selling, on caring rather than self-promotion. That’s the kind of space I hope this blog becomes: one that’s reflective, generous, and grounded in genuine connection.

So, here I am at Day 45, learning more about what I’m willing to share, where my ideas come from, and how I want to grow as a writer. Writing has become a near-daily ritual, and I’ve even found the time of day when it flows best. This project has helped me sift through what matters and what doesn’t—and it’s sparked new curiosity in me. More than anything, I’m realizing how much I love the process.

Here’s to the journey—still unfolding, still teaching, still bringing me home to myself.
