The amount of dots on a 6-sided die is 21.
According to physician Duncan MacDougal, 21 grams is the weight of a human soul.
21 means time for new beginnings and changes.

Great ideas as always.
I’m doing a limited A to Z this year, but I’m open to guest book blogging, especially for letter D or M (or my initials!)

Love some of these challenge ideas! Can you share the link where we can sign up to participate? Thanks!

Mary B said...

Great ideas! I've incorporated a few of the challenges already. Have about half of my posts written for April, but should have them all pre-written and scheduled before the month starts. I'm taking guesses on my blog as to what my theme will be this year.

I've been looking forward to this! My challenge is participating with both my blogs. I like the prompt idea challenge, but it's too late to do that now, I've already started.

Srivalli Rekha said...

Great ideas! Though I'll probably stick to the easiest one and share the links on two SM platforms.

Nilanjana Bose said...

Excellent ideas! Chuffed to see WEP on there - thank you!

Anne M Bray said...

Lots of good ideas! I do some already, there is always room for MORE. Haha.
