Your mind wants things tidy and certain; writing doesn't work that way

The hidden ways in which we judge ourselves and our writing

On writing, stuckness, and the difference between what we are and what we carry

Discomfort can point to the right next step

wake up and / step outside

What they have to do with writing something of value

There is no hierarchy for the words that matter to you

An exploration and one for you, this week and going forward

The small thought that keeps you from the thing you actually want to do

You're probably not missing what you think you are

On the sweet relief of letting go

A gentle invitation to trade the "should" for something that feels like delight

When we stand at the edge of ourselves and step forward

Writing from a recent workshop — and an invitation to try it yourself

When less effort opens the way forward

On longing to create and trusting the writing to lead

Someone is waiting to hear your voice

I’m back again and notice a settling, like flakes falling gently to the bottom of a snow globe

Saying yes to your creative desire is powerful

There are a million stories about love, grief, and more. None are yours.

What if the ordinary were already enough?

Your creative work is not a “nice to have”

An invitation to experiment

When you turn it, the world rearranges.

I attended an extraordinary workshop recently

How moving from task to partnership shifts your creative practice

On connecting to your inner wisdom, overcoming creative resistance, and sharing your authentic voice with the world

A poetic fragment for the in-between, and an invititation

My poetry collection has arrived!

A message for anyone who's been away from their writing or their creative work, the door is still open.
