✍🏽 Ok my lil puddin’ pops this is your LAST CALL to join this Sunday’s writing workshop! April Writing Workshop is THIS SUNDAY! (Sunday, April 24, 10am - 12pm PST). Grab your spot here. Please sign up in advance + thank you!
Questions? Ask. I’m here and I’d love to hear from you.
Morning, all.
These are the cards I pulled this morning.
The Hanged Man points to a turning point; the Devil is a reflection of something in my life that is constraining. I am taking this in as permission to stay in the unknowing (you know, that cold and Murky Soup), to not make any decisions, to allow myself the gift of being in suspended animation a little while longer, without forcing what’s next.
I’m sharing this today because maybe you need similar permission.
Every single person I know, and am in communication with, is a squirrel right now.
Let’s hang in.
Feel free to comment below or hit reply for pep-talk, or commiseration requests. I got you.
Sending all my love, and strength, and blessings for a weekend nap or two. xxoo, dani
📖Read: George Saunders, aka, everyone’s favorite literary uncle, send out a quickie little missive last week: Radical Preferences: In which we get to feel what we really feel, and sure, it’s about a writing exercise, but the reason I’m sharing it is because this is where I start with the folks I work with who are beginning to practice asserting their wants and needs. We don’t start with big, bold, declarations. We start with having preferences, “the sorts of preferences that can’t be defended and don’t need to be.” So yeah, if you’re a writerly person, it’s a fun exercise, but also, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to share anything that points to the overlaps between a recovery practice and a creative one.
👀Watch: I am not a festival person, nope nope nope, but if someone had parachuted me in and then plucked me back out for this one, I wouldn’t have minded.
🎧Listen: This was so damn bizarre and I loved it so damn much: “Science is increasingly finding that nature operates through resonance, that music predates language, and that when human beings decide to do things — to embark on adventures, to vote for politicians, to join groups — the primary driving force to do so is not ‘fact’ but resonance.” Got this link from Jocelyn K. Glei, whose newsletter link roundups I love the most.
That’s it for this week, mis amores. Take good care of yourselves this weekend, take good care of each other, and I’ll see you Tuesday.
