There is still time to register for HEAT, this month’s writing workshop.
Dani creates a magical bubble in her workshops where all are welcome, prompts are offered to get the creative juices flowing, and the atmosphere is one of encouragement and support.
I always leave with my heart a little softer, and my sense of community rejuvenated. Thank you, Dani! (Lael A)
I hope to see you! Love,
Dani
📖Read: Ohhh this essay + photo essay about the new (staggering) reality of my beloved California always on fire broke my heart.
👀Watch: OK this made me cry like an idiot which y’all know isn’t hard to do but still (thank you boo boo Faith!).
🎧Listen: Many of you know about my low-key obsession with Window Swap, a pandemic-inspired project where you can spend time looking out of other people’s windows all over the world. I have the site bookmarked in my browser and occasionally I’ll use it as a meditation of sorts: on a break between work tasks, I’ll open a window and let my imagination wander, my nervous system settle. Earlier this week I opened this window, a pleasant enough little view but overall pretty plain and not one I’d typically linger over. I’m so glad I did. Click through and “hear” for yourself (turn the sound on and wait a moment, I promise it’s worth it). Michaela in North Haven, if you read this, thank you for reminding me what I love most about humanity - the way we create beauty for beauty’s sake.
