Visiting Friends

I've been visiting the blogs of some friends lately. If you're interested in popping in and reading my thoughts, please do.

Kim Petersen

Kim is a local author who I've been doing some work with. It's nice to have a 'running mate' to do author talks and workshops with, and to chat and brainstorm over a cuppa.

In one of our chats, Kim invited me to write something for her blog. Her blog posts are all brutally honest and I was a bit hesitant about what I could/should write. In the end I went with something that's been bugging me and I wanted to be clear about.

This is my post on Becoming Whole.

The Jar Writers Collective

Another invitation came from a writing friend, Jodi Cleghorn. She has a group of writers who are looking at creativity in creative and abstract ways. She invited me to write for the theme "Words As..."

As soon as I read that, "Healing" popped into my head. And then the doubts took over. But I'm working on the doubts, so I took a few deep breaths and thanked the doubts for visiting.

The next day, lying on the lawn in the sunshine, I stopped reading as words poured out onto a page. Words that talked about healing. Spoke of my life with books and words. Talked about stories.

Here is Words As Healing:
