Honestly, as awful as the lockdowns were and as scary as it was, it was a period during which writer me flourished. Largely, I think, it was because writer groups and rooms opened up--at least to me--MOST importantly LWS. It took discovering LWS and its brilliant & supportive souls (particularly you, LD), and other writers. It was then I began to learn how to be and accept myself as a Real Writer. Finally, FINALLY, I started to open up and step out into the world. Thank you, LD, for that and being such a huge source of inspiration! 🧡
This is such a beautiful and powerful comment and reflection. I am SO glad that writer you was able to flourish in this time because your words are SUCH a gift! 🧡 And I am very glad to have met you 🧡
This is such a lovely reflection, thank you for listening!
I try my best to get sits that are around 4 weeks or more, just for some stability. It is not always possible and I do get short ones to supplement at times. But sometimes you get 6 weeks like where I am now!
all the moves and wanderlust and time hopping: so relatable, that feeling that we can somehow corral time and space. and then the realization that all we have is now.
WOW! Such a powerful, beautiful, interesting piece reflecting on the profound and positive impact of lockdown! I love so much about this: your voice, your style, the pacing, the use of repetition, the forward movement of the piece, outer and inner! “When I wake up each day, there I am, and I am so thankful.” Love it!! How did lockdown change me for the better?? Great question! I’m going to play with this. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Wow, thank you so much for reading and for these lovely words, Syd! I look forward to hearing what comes up for you with the prompt if ever you want to share 🧡🧡🧡
A brilliant piece of writing. Deep, honest, vulnerable & right to the core of your being. A reflection of how you have transformed through time, experience, trips, through others but most importantly through your own eyes you have seen the changes you want to make & you have made them. Proud of you L. Keep following the joy & I’ve no doubt your wings will always be balanced: equally light & strong & they will always bring you to exactly where you want to be - because as you have written here, happiness is an inside job x
Oooh I saw so much of myself in this letter! Eek! And yes the half hour time zone shift- I'm currently 15 and a half hours behind my family...the half hour still throws me sometimes, it's wild!

Loved the audio! Made me feel like we were sitting together having a chat. The imperfection made it perfect! ♥️
Random question: How long do you stay in each location? Does it vary quite a bit?

Aaahh, that makes sense. Plus time to really get to know a place, I imagine.
