Here we are again, approaching the end of a month. One of my commitments this year was to offer a space for you to get some reflective writing in before each month’s end. The idea: thirty minutes of writing to guided prompts from the comfort of your own space, but also together with people from all over because of the power of the internet. I want to offer writing as a reliable, doable ritual to stay connected to what you need to stay connected to: softness, stability, beauty, resilience…

And so here we are, it’s almost time to gather again.

Still life of what it looks like to organize my thoughts at the dining room table. That pencil case is from childhood and still going strong.

You’re invited to this Sunday’s Journaling Circle:

11:00am-11:30am EST on Zoom
There’s no reading out loud or breakout rooms. This is for you if you've never journaled before or if you journal every day.

If you can’t make it live, I post the journaling prompts on Sunday for you to write to on your own and revisit as you like.

Here are the last few to get a feel for what it’s like (or if you’re in the mood to journal right now!)

Desire is an old door

If you lose the moment, you might lose a lot

Collecting data for possibility

I keep these behind a paywall because the journaling circle financially supports my work as an artist and writer, and it's a perk for paid subscribers.

If you’d like to write to these prompts and join this Sunday’s Journaling Circle, or write to the prompts in your own time, please become a paid subscriber by clicking here:
