With all that talk about change in my last newsletter, I got inspired to share a creative project that’s been sitting on my proverbial shelf (aka in a Google Doc) for a few years.
The Idea
A collection of personal stories, trustworthy guidance, and actionable exercises to help us along as we are remade, becoming the people we are always becoming.
The Why
Always, and especially as we continue to emerge from the global pandemic, there’s an opportunity and a necessity to pause, reflect, reconsider, begin again. But all of that is so freaking hard!
These stories, wisdom, and rituals can help us answer: Who are we, individually and as a community? What are our gifts and limitations? What is wonderful and terrible in our lives? What are the questions and choices that we want to consider? What must we release? How might we move forward with new insights and aspirations?
My dream is that this offering will bring us clarity, confidence, growth, comfort, and hope as we each and all chart the road ahead, determining the right direction for right now, seeking out an authentic path no matter where we are on our journeys.
The Manifestation
I’m looking for:
personal stories of being remade in this very moment or sometime in the past
rituals and exercises to help us as we transition from what was to what’s coming
The stories must represent diverse perspectives and backgrounds and may be expressed in any format (e.g., essay, poem, photo, video, illustration).
The rituals and exercises must be actionable and accessible.
What form will this take? I’m open! Maybe a podcast, a beautiful website, a deck of cards, a dedicated Substack newsletter, a book, or some other container. Perhaps this project is curated and edited by me, maybe it’s created continually by the community. Speaking of community, are there also supportive gatherings or conversations that help us help each other along this journey? We’ll see.
What now?
What do you think? Does this resonate? Would it help you? What’s missing?
Would you like to come on board? What story or skill do you have to share?
Let me know!
