In the spirit of my recent 41st birthday celebrations, I am discounting monthly and annual subscriptions to my Substack newsletter by 41% through the end of July! The discount gets you a paid subscription for $2.95 a month, with the option to cancel at any time, or $29.50 for the whole year. In addition to the once a month public posts, paid subscribers get three additional paid posts every month, including exclusive to Substack poems, behind the scenes peeks at the creative process, and a variety of other creations I craft specifically for this space. I am so grateful for each one of you who visit this space every week!
I have been grounding myself with writing and reading more than I have in a while, and like a garden, it feels so steadying to put down roots where and when I can so that when the winds of change blow through, I am strong enough to withstand them. For the first time in a long, long while, I can’t fully imagine what life will look like in five years: heck, even a year or two out gets a little fuzzy around the edges.
I am unsettled, yes, and so genuinely intrigued by the twists and turns my days might take, and grateful for the air in my lungs so that I can keep being breathed through all the beautiful, brutal, wondrous moments I get to be here for.
