On Wednesday, I got to soak up ideas and inspiration from five Story Explorers: Bitsy Parks, Geno Church, Aliza Werner, Lolly Salazar, and Carrie Thomas.
Jen, Thanks for this post and your own vulnerability which helps me see mine. I have been never minding myself for a very long time, even after being a published writer. I found an old diary from when I was 14 and I wrote, "I want to be a writer if only I had the courage." I've been looking for the courage for a very long time. And I realize that it takes courage every day to write. The courage has to come from me, deep inside, I have to squash the never mind.
Ohmigosh, yes! We are always fixing the courage…and yet, we have it already! Look at all you hsbe accomplished! I am often finding ways to see and celebrate myself. You’re doing it!
Thank you, Kimberly! This means a lot! I’m glad we’ve been reconnecting! It’s fun to have an outlet that feels like a blog but also is connecting people. Hugs to you!

Love reading your writing after so many years. Miss our conversations about reading, writing, and life. xo
