Writing is healing when you dare to meet yourself on the page and find a way to drop your armor and hush the inner critic. But where do you begin?

Writing is healing when you dare to meet yourself on the page. All you need to do is find a way to drop your armor and hush the inner critic.
Hmm... easier said than done. But where do you begin?
This week’s invitation for healers, creatives, writers, and would-like-to-be writers: Try writing a thank you note to the shadow.
Something surprising happens when you use the well-known format of a thank you note to dive into the hardest parts of your own story. The framework holds you at first and then it frees you to say what you really need to say.
You can write a thank you letter to a person who hurt you. You’re not thanking them for their abuse, but you might be thanking them for the new ways you were able to grow as you healed.
In this latest Writing & Magic Making video I tell you a little bit about the experience of writing a thank you note to a loved one’s addiction. It was hard and it was necessary and it was the only way I could uncover what I really was feeling.
And be sure to sign up and mark your calendars for the next free community writing practice session that’s happening on Thursday, November 29 at noon ET.
Trust the Cycles. Trust Yourself. Trust the Words.
The latest video in the Writing & Magic Making series talks about the ebbs and flows of creativity and how we can honor the cycles of the seasons and of nature - especially in the magical month of October.

It’s taken a while, but I feel like I have finally arrived in my favorite time of year, in my beloved October when we’re all invited to play in one last glorious golden stretch before the northern earth begins her winter sleep.
