For that is where boundaries fall
& grow bonds much deeper.
This writing exercise includes writing a piece and making a little mini book for such. Hence, the image. It was fun cutting up an old calendar and fashioning it into a little book. I think however, my creative flow is in the writing!
All of my writing is about well-being, and today, this is centered around loneliness, which is well-known to be the epidemic of our time. The research is astonishing, pointing out that even in company, we can feel lonely due to the endless distractions we have today. Present but not present.
How many of us feel lonely I wondered?
Does this resonate?
I am drawn to women’s circles for their ability to bring us together, and my writing circle holds the same allure. While our primary focus is writing, the act of sharing our work serves as a powerful antidote to loneliness. And often reminds us that we are all the same, different, but the same.
Please connect with me.
Always,
