Thanks for being here! I’ve got 6 spots open for End-of-year Review Sessions between now and December 28th. Let’s make the transition out of 2024 a nourishing, inspired, and strengths-based one—and keep creativity at the center of your days in 2025.

Sessions are 75-minutes, with accompanying follow-up support.

Reminder: November’s Resiliency Circle is happening tomorrow night, at our usual 5:15pm Pacific. This month’s list-making party will be 90-minutes long. I can’t wait to be in your company! Zoom link & RSVP found here.

Dear readers,

If you’ve been here for a while, you know that speaking in depth about personal things is kind of my jam.

I was surprised, then, to finish today’s letter and notice some nervousness about hitting “send.”

I don’t want to mislead you, nor sensationalize the content below. Truthfully, I’ve shared much more personal, “vulnerable” things in many previous letters.

(And let me remind you that I’m never not channeling Anne Sexton when I write: “I am often being personal, but I’m not being personal about myself.”)

Nevertheless: Something feels tender about this one. And though it’s an instinct I can’t explain, I’d like to honor it.

For this reason—and because it’s currently the best way to charge forward and implement a boundary—free readers (hi! I care about you a lot) will find a paywall below. If you’ve been considering upgrading your subscription, attending The Resiliency Circle, or supporting more writers / artists in general, let this be your personal invitation to make it happen!

Writing at the intersection of creativity, neurodivergence, and the more-than-human world; looking closely for the self who inhabits all three.
