Wonderful #insight from one of my favorite #Mindfulness teachers that is really also writing and life applicable. #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

"Find a place in yourself—in your being, in your heart—that really wants to understand what life & death is about, that wants to live in a different way. Let that be the source of your inspiration, the source of your guidance." – Jack Kornfield

ISO: local or long-distance critique partners, writing groups, beta readers… #WritingCommunity, anyone interested? Must love a good story, #fiction or #memoir, must not ask any more $ of me, I spent it all on books and my ad hoc writing education. #amwriting #writing

[Mirella Stoyanova @mhstoyanova]

I found @ceciliaclyra's #frommemoriestomemoir course especially helpful as I consider how to approach the revision of my #memoir. Fellow #WritingCommunity, I think it's important to point out that agents can be a wonderful resource to us, too. #amwriting

From Janet Steen on loss and grief @lithub "in the therapy sessions we came back to the same sort of non-conclusion: This is not for me to understand. And the looking for answers and explanations was a form of resistance to the reality of what happened." https://t.co/WIIqQlqK0X

We are our best selves when we are our truest selves. My favorite (Twitter abridged) takeaway from the true story of the Golden Buddha, which I first heard as a young therapy client and now share with my own psychotherapy clients. #Mindfulness #therapy #amwriting
