I started reading this article because of an inspiring note. I had already pushed “follow” but am at the end of the article and am pushing “subscribe!”so much of what you’re saying resonates. Thank you.

Dear Sally-Ann, I’m humbled both by your support, and the more so by what I’ve read of your life, experience and loss. If I may, from afar, I’m sending huge love. I can’t imagine what you’ve gone through — but I can hope that whatever consolation is in the world comes to offer some comfort. With love, Jim

Really enjoyed reading your post today. I can't say just one thing I connect with..it's all of it. Everything you mention from trying to giving yourself space..to being, to letting be. Very very true. Thank you ✨

Dear Saima, thank you just so much for this reflection.

It was a strage post, because I was a little "panic-ed" about writing something.

When I hit a block or wonder if I have anything left to give in a newsletter,

I always ask -- what do I most need to hear.

It really helps me.

I realised while drafting this out, that I have recently been reframing how I approach my writing on Substack.

And it was really fun to pull together older and newer lessons.

Wishing you a great week - and thank you so much for your encouragement -- can't tell you what a lift it is!

Jim
