Interested in exploring your writing?

During COVID, there’s been lots of time to write, maybe not as often in coffee shops, but time seems to have slowed down in many ways. In 2021, I serendipitously landed in an 8-week intensive with Natalie Goldberg (Writing Down the Bones). 

My writing routine morphed as I re-engaged with a part of myself I’d been ignoring. Weeks before my 50th birthday, I experienced a series of unexplained strokes. A decade later, Natalie’s methodology provided a sideways into my stroke experience, a time when I wasn’t able to get the right words out of my head to explain what I meant. 

If you’ve had a significant life event where you on the outside seems different than you on the inside — writing provides a way to express yourself to yourself.

If you’re intrigued by the concept of a journal ritual, I invite you to give it a try.
