You inspired me to join Substack. My relationship has been more haphazard, but I totally agree with your learnings and the things to be grateful for.

You and your writing are things I would add to my gratitude list. I love our zoom conversations and your letters help me prep or go deeper into the topics we work with.

Congratulations on your 360 spin with writing. I look forward to more!

Thanks Marie! Yes being in any social media platform has its ups and downs. For me it comes down to relationships. That is the best part! So glad you are here and that we have our group. I love the depth of our conversations and the many topics we explore. A true gift in my life! ❤

Happy Anniversary Julie, I have been so blessed by being able to see your work here and thank YOU for all the support this past year. I didn’t realise we joined around the same time, which is also a beautiful thing. I look forward to what the next year brings for you and brings forth for us all to enjoy.

Brava! 🥳🍾🥂🎉 ✨🧚‍♀️🤸‍♀️🌼🌷🌈🌺🪷💕And Congratulations, Julie! And I absolutely adore this favorite memory of yours - to me, it sounds like honoring the Divine Feminine🥰

"Deepening into my relationship with writing. Seeing what works and what doesn’t work for me. Getting intimate with my writing constitution and honoring that. This means being honest with myself and not comparing. Recognizing my own cycles, the blocks and the breakthroughs. Respecting them as part of the polarities of life, two sides to the same coin. Finding ways that allow for both because they play off each other."

I so relate to the experience of sometimes getting overwhelmed by how much wonderful stuff there is to read here on Substack! And I also come back to the reminder, over and over, to connect and reconnect with the love (writing! community of any size!) that pulled me here, rather than letting the stats tell me whether this is worth it or not. Happy Substack anniversary, Julie!

Thanks Lisa! Sometimes I wish I could have more time to write and read. Including poetry! (I wish I could do everyone of your prompts) Yet to do all that I need to live a life! Engage, feel, be disappointed, take things in, let things go, enjoy! Where else does the writing come from? So I am focusing on moderation. The middle ground. And life also teaches me through the writing...

That makes perfect sense to me!
