This is so beautiful Clare thank you and in complete magical synch with my life and focus right now. I loved your words “written in the ink of tenderness,” and the “reminder … to gently nudge our hearts.” Your words are so embodied. Thank you for your beautiful words and this creative retreat 🙏🤍❤️‍🔥

So glad the right words landed at the right time. Synchronicity is a mischievous trickster with time! Hope you enjoyed writing your list with your own ink of tenderness, of which I know you have abundance dear Nadine.

This found me just when I needed it. I am at a difficult time in my life, but I remember the lessons taught to me by one of the dearest souls my soul has known. Even when life is painful, things that we find beautiful and joyful still exist.

Thank you Briana, and I think words are some of the best balms and navigational tools we have during bumpy patches, helping us to still reach for the beautiful; a gift your friend has offered too. Travel well, with soft gladness.

A clean kitchen, a pile of poetry books and my diary writing with a turquoise fountain pen, enlightened by a circle of little candles. The smell of white flowers essential oil. The sound of silence. 🤫
