Whether in person or in spirit, thanks for receiving the invitation to slow down that Journal Circle represents. I hope your evening was delicious and restful on your end of things. I imagine Journal Circle as kinda like your favourite restorative yoga class β a place where you can just show up, exhale and move what needs soft movement within you. I'm always so grateful to facilitate this space, and hear about the tender and surprising things that emerge for you. Take good care of yourself, and have a wonderful weekend π UpcomingsποΈ Next up with me is a weekly(ish) coworking space on Monday mornings. Also free, also pressure free. Simply show up, share what you plan on focusing on for the hour, then I'll play some groovy tunes as we go heads-down for the hour. Folks have used this hour to: catch up on email, plan the week ahead, edit articles for their day job, draft a newsletter, read their book. It's good vibes! Feel free to drop in whenever would be supportive β the next one is Monday, November 27 at 1pm EST / 10am PST.
πNext Journal Circle is a little earlier than usual due to some upcoming travel, so we'll be gathering Thursday, December 7 at 8pm EST / 5 pm EST. Would love to spend a slow evening with you amidst the hubbub of the holidays ππ²

Your Year Ahead readings are now open π―οΈ I have been reflecting on how intimate and vulnerable it is to set a goal. To put into words (or a word) what we want to bring into our year. How humbling that is, to want to humble ourselves before what we desire. To dare to put it into words. How bracing it might be to reflect on goals from previous years. To begin articulating what we might intend to come next. If you're anything like me, there may be some shame mixed in with the pride at what...
TLDR: Journal Circle is TONIGHT! There's only a few seats left, save yours here Hi there friend, I hope you are well, and that you are safe. With news of wildfires and ceasefires, my heart has felt heavy, even as I find silver linings of relief. I have been mindful of how much I am letting into my world, these days. We are still in the depths of winter where I live, still in the time of year where the snow is falling thick on the ground and it's well below freezing. I'm not doing this with...
