Blog
I am considering this space, not so much a blog, but a place to share writing and inspiration. At times, I will share the writing of others probably because it’s speaking to something in me at that moment. Other times, I will share my own writing, or examples of writing that have come from workshops like the ones that I will be holding. In the spirit of what guides this whole venture for me and what I hope to invite others into, it won’t be a space of a pre-determined regularity, expectation, or “have to.” Instead, it will hopefully respond to deep impulses from within myself, intuitive notions to share, and the attempt to follow through with spontaneous pulls toward connection.
