Hello Dear One, Ah, November. I hope it’s treating you well. This is an intense period at work for me and I always dread it. In fact, I was so afraid of this long, dark month I signed up to several groups, many of which I’ve already retreated from. Now I’m focused on one goal: writing my second novel. My first took four years and all of my soul to write. It’s not yet published but the process taught me a lot, particularly that taking time to be is essential. You can’t always be doing. There is always space to take a few deep breaths, to think things through. Feeling like there isn’t is a bigger invitation to look at what’s going on. Let’s make that two goals - writing a book and making sure I’m ok.
I totally agree Jo. We can "write out" any negative emotion or difficult experience. I sure wish I found out when I was much younger. I waited until I was nearly sixty to start writing, telling myself I had no time, but the truth is the writing out, through, around what was going on in my life would most likely have given me more time to actually live. Thank you for writing this piece.
