The woman I had been was no longer an option. Thinking about moving obstacles, unblocking the way, allowing change to happen this morning. I’m so glad I went here to read this. I can’t believe I’ve missed so many of these notes! I feel like I have a treat waiting for me. Thank you for this, for changing me. 💚
So pleased you wrote your way through this challenge, Francesca. I enjoyed being surprised when I looked at Notes and saw one from you there, and wondering which year of your life I'd be dipping into. And this gives it context, in terms of what the project has meant to you.
"The Art of Loss," is such a profound thought, deserving of a great deal of unpacking. Congratulations on completing your 54-day memoir-in-Notes project. A creative and unique way of putting yourself and your writing out there. I like reading your work -- I always come away with something to contemplate. Big hugs and write on . . .
Thank you, Stephanie! I'm so very grateful for your encouragement and reflections! I feel so lucky to have stumbled into this wonderful Substack community of writers like you!
An interesting sermon/philosophical piece to have been presented with as you start this next year. I hope the Notes project was clarifying in some way, setting the stage maybe for turning the page to a new year. Happy belated birthday.
Elizabeth! My goodness! If ever someone has had a more supportive reader, I cannot imagine who or how. I hope you know that when I mentioned the little flares like lanterns that guided ne through the ambivalence and fear, I was speaking directly to you! May we have more opportunities in the coming months to read and herald each other's work. Thank you from the bottom of my (exhausted!) heart! hahah xoxoxo
