Hello Golden Thread Community.

What a ride we are collectively on right now. Since we share here to lighten the load, I want to draw our focus onto the polarity that exists. The tighter and crunchier our collective reality is becoming, the more I am watching people burst out of their shell and move toward the lightness of their being: new work, new relationships, new jobs.

I did not say easy.

I am not presenting away the difficulty, but to borrow a phrase from a friend, I am “fueling the ascension rather than feeding the dissension.”

We are gathering to Sit & Write July 6th at 11am EST. We are going to write out our grief and make space for joy. That is what writers and creatives and humans do, alchemize the emotion into creation, we just aren’t always conscious of the process.

I talk about it here:

I have also started my morning journaling with color again, a la Austin Kleon inspired. Something about the color and breaking of lines and form early in the morning is really helping the knowing and the next steps stumble a bit more easily.
