Free Read! A Thosand Word Thursday at Cryselle's Bookshelf

Now this was fun! Cryselle has posted the drabble I wrote for her Thousand Word Thursday challenge. She offers up a photo, (and boy, what a photo this was!) and asks us to write a short from 100 to 1000 words to go along with it. With my fondness for 100 words shorts, how could I resist?

Go on, you know you want to. Read it and tell me, what do you think?

What spice is your soul?

I love these little quizzes!



Your Soul's Spice is Basil




You value deep, authentic relationships. You're not big on small talk.

You are deeply spiritual, even if you don't talk about it much. Deep down you are good with yourself and the world.

You are unpretentious and natural. You couldn't be another way even if you tried.

You have a beautiful soul, and it shines through in the way you treat others.

What Spice Is Your Soul?
