It's that time of year when "festive" feels more like "fatigued". This week's newsletter covers tinsel, traffic and the emotional gymnastics of pretending we're fine. https://t.co/VDPJTsZ890

Yesterday’s writing workshop ice-breaker:
“If you really knew me, you would know…”

A wall of blue Post-its revealed secrets, quiet grief and shy hopes - proof that storytelling doesn’t have to be long to be powerful.

What would your Post-it note say?

A blank page is just your mind in a towel, walking around the house trying to remember why it entered the kitchen.

I’m convinced most people are one journaling session away from emotional clarity or a full-blown renaissance. Hard to tell which.

[Write On! @WriteOnSA]

Writing when you’re inspired is easy. Writing when you’re annoyed is honest. Writing when you’re exhausted and burnt out? That’s spiritual.

It ends or it doesn't.
That's what you say.
That's how you get through it.
The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn't.
If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it.

It Ends Or It Doesn't - Caitlyn Siehl

It's impossible to be lonely when you're zesting an orange.

Scrape the soft rind once and the whole room fills with fruit.

Look around:
you have more than enough.

Always have.

You just didn't notice until now.

Nobody is thinking you're an imposter. They are busy thinking about themselves.

Reading is only useful if you have enough experience to think critically.

Failing is only useful if you did your best to not fail.

Discussing is only useful if you are ready to change your mind.

Working hard is only useful if you are in the right direction.

What was your worst rejection?

Here's mine-- When I was a young poet sending out my poems, a journal wrote "only famous poets can write in lowercase" on my rejection slips.

Thank you, next...

How do you feel when you write?

If your perfect idea of a weekend is staying indoors with a good book then do that, no need to feel guilty. #introvertlife #BookWorm
