Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Cold Weather Writing Topics for the Week of Jan. 18 - 22

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is a time when the birthday of the American Baptist minister, humanitarian, and leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement is celebrated. This is a great time to write about doing the right thing!

"The time is always right to do what is right." ~ Martin Luther King Jr. 

Also, I don't know about your neck of the woods, but up here in the north our neck of the woods is really, really cold at present! (Did I say really?) We'll add some chilly topics into the mix for the week, also.
