I am writing today because I've wondered about the yellow jeep down the street that was parked there every M-F until this past spring and then it hasn't come back and then I wondered about why I kept thinking about wind phones and now here's an opportunity to find out why. <3
I am writing today because COVID/long-COVID has taken away my words in a lot of ways, and I’m ever-so-slowly reclaiming them—I want to keep working on that process.
I am writing today because I'm sick of the story I tell myself that I'm a better story coach than a storyteller and that has to end. It's time for me to dance out into the fields unabashedly, turn cartwheels in my nightgown not wearing underwear like I did when I was a little girl. It's time for me to really manifest this Walks With Grief project - book? - I've been noodling with and talking about for so long because the world needs it and because I need to show myself I can and because yesterday I took a walk that actually brought me grief rather than moved me through grief and that was something new. It's time. LFG.
I am writing today because I have this story in my head for many years and I want to get it out so I can hold it in my hands and always have it to read lest I forget who I am.
I’m writing today because it’s so EASY to say I can’t do it then it is to say I CAN and I no longer want to hold myself back by comparing my experiences to others or convince myself that I cannot write. That’s no longer me. I am a writer and I need to embrace that more.
Doing it to feel alive again.
Because I need to know I can.
