Wow Nora, what a most wonderful surprise to be quoted in your piece today. I feel so special and like I’m receiving the most beautiful gift. Thank you!! 🙏🏼 I’m glad it resonated with you and hope it helps others too!

It’s been such a joy to get to share in your journey of life in general as well as your journey with writing specifically this past year. And what a year of change it’s been for you. May the magic continue to dance in all the abundant ways ✨

In my world, I’ve been in a really quiet, slow phase. I had an opening a week or so ago in my lower chakras after processing some deep body shame where I viscerally realized how unsafe it has felt to soften. Since then, I’ve been actively relaxing my pelvic floor, womb, and belly more and it’s been such a different experience of life to soften and open.

And, at the same time, my belly has never felt bigger which triggers a lot of body image stuff. This whole flow though has opened me to more juiciness and turn on with life in general, but has also revealed so much fear of that turn on, fear of what I might be attracted to, fear of where it will lead me. Moving slowly, processing, and opening continue.

And in so doing, my life keeps getting flowier. The slower I move, the more I rest, the easier action is to take. I’m still getting things done, strangely enough to my mind, just without efforting it or “trying to get myself to”. It’s giving me some renewed hope that maybe my business and writing will come along in due time (things my mind really wants) if I just stop trying to force it. I guess time will tell. But it reminds me a lot of your journey with writing and that gives me hope and taps me into the magic too.

Big hugs to you and the whole crew 🙏🏼🤗💜

Oh Nora, you must know, however I'll express it again, how happy I am for you all to re-find the beauty of the place you find yourselves. Thank you for posting these missives as they reassure me of a journey taken with trust, love and intuition, as well as our humaness full of doubt and stumbling.

Checking in with a report of bread crumbs are followed as they are dropped and I have connected with people in the film and production world, just as I work on my screen play. One man had just released his film about his father who owned a club in Chicago, Mr. Kelley's, and he knew my family. And had just posted a photo of my grandfather an hour before I met him! Another, yesterday I met a producer of many Broadway shows and he single handedly produced and funded

" smoke signals". The breadcrumbs have made me nibble them up to follow a oath where a supportive kind person will be helping me, whereas before I would run for the hills from any producer!

Love to you all.
