Jotting from my Journal. Day #191 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Just This

What if we lived by the cliché 
and really did take life one 
day at a time—

even better, 
one moment at a time, 
step ever so gently—

no rush, no place to get. 
Just this one holy step. 
This one miracle breath.

What if we make a practice of bathing 
ourselves in gentleness, the most tender
kind of tenderness, 

stopped waiting for permission
from anyone but ourselves. It is the only 
permission needed. Really, it is.

One step at a time. 
No place to get 
but here.

Want to Write Yourself Free with me?

This Thursday, August 28th from 9:00-11:00 AM (PST), I will be holding a live (online) Write Yourself Free class (available to all paying subscribers of my Substack page, no extra charge).

If you have taken a WYF class with me in the past (HI!), I’m so eager & excited to write with you again!

If you are brand new to WYF, I can’t wait to introduce you to this incredibly freeing & powerful practice. Don’t worry, you don’t have to share your writing unless you would like to.

And you do not need to consider yourself a writer to find great richness in this class!
