EDITED TO ADD: The giveaway is now closed! Cally Brown was the winner, and she has been notified by email. Thanks for playing along!!
I. I spent a few days in the studio puttering around and doing art for myself and it was gorgeous.
II. I ducked out of socials and anything too stressful so I could find my way back to some kind of center. I think there’s some energy in the collective around our reopening that’s hitting me uncomfortably. I do not want to emerge yet. I’m not ready. I need to stay in this quiet place for a while longer and be in communion with myself.
III. This came out of one of my quiet moments. She is giving me life.
IV. I did a thing.
It’s a bad screenshot of Zoom video, but LOOK AT MY HAIRS! Not as vibrant as I expected, but I actually like it like this. I do have a flash lightening kit so if I want to go a little more extreme, I can. (This is Extreme Teal Overtone, btw. I have medium blonde hair + gray, so if you have the same you might want to bleach before you use it).
V. Renee is doing a thing and I am VERY STOKED about it.
If you like the way I write (without worrying about a theme or “tying it all together” and just documenting my life) this is going to be your jam.
I am not an affiliate, but Renee is my witch adjacent so she gave me a seat to give away! Comment below and tell me why you want to join the course and I’ll pick someone to gift the seat to.
VI. I know I usually go for ten things, but I am feeling pressed today. A live with the witches. A spread to finish for said witches for August 1st. A pile of laundry. A dog to finish grooming.
Where did July go? How is it already the 21st? What is happening?
Anyway, enter below if you want to come write with us.

Effy
The month has gone by too quickly for sure!
I would love to write with y’all. Your kindness is overflowing.
I want to write for So long but keep delaying. Together With you would be Inspiring and make some progress at the same time. ❤️
I feel this could be my new gateway “drug” of choice to stoke my itch to write! 🙋🏻♀️
I’d like a seat. I’ve been doing a 10 thing list weekly. It’s good. I don’t often choose to express myself through written words. This sounds like an adventure.
I would love to join in. I feel like I am missing things, moments. Maybe I’m just being forgetful, or maybe I’m not pausing enough. Maybe things are just too busy too much too fast for me to keep up. I’ve been wanting to write but not finding much inspiration or motivation to do so. Maybe this is what I need.
Would absolutely love to join in.
I used to write a lot! I have several plastic totes full of notebooks & journals that are full of all my experiences, as well as poems, fantasies, etc… After becoming a Mom on 9/11/01… The very same day terrorists crashed planes into The Twin Towers in New York!!! Other things got in the way of my creativity. Now that my Daughter is a Beautiful, High-Vibbing Young Lady; I think I could definitely find more time to write again! I just need to find the inspiration & motivation! ~🙏💙🙏Much Graditude🙏💙🙏~
Sitting in lockdown again – OF COURSE I would love a place! And to be able to give myself the much need ‘nudge’ to write again ……….
Would love to join! Writing, art work, sharing, would love it!
Inspired by you, I’ve been trying to write 10 things daily but more often it’s been weekly. I have found writing hard since having a stroke 3 1/2 years ago – words get stuck. This week nothing – I am devastated by the horrific death of a friends’ son, a man I have known since he was 8yo. My heart is so full and heavy but I am stuck and unable even to cry, to speak about it aloud. I need my writing back, so very badly right now.
I’m with you on the reopening feels…..I’m not ready either and am choosing to stay hunkered down. The cards, the birds, everything is nudging me to stay in a state of quiet contemplation and who am I to argue with that? Can I just say that I freaking LOVE that painting….like I’m loving the mood, the energy…yes, loving it. And you. xo
I occasionally sit and write…it can be months or years between times…or merely hours, depending. As you in Canada are re-opening, I’m in West Virginia seeing “delta is here and more contagious” and wondering why I don’t just stay out here in my woods and avoid the world for a while…but I probably won’t, as I have people to see, places to go, things to do… and maybe I am a fool for being “visible”… who knows…
I would love to join Renee’s Wild Musings. It’s been 35+ years since I did any serious writing, and I would love to learn writing without all the rules for stories.
Wild musings! Swamp witch and witch adjacent for LIFE. xx
I’d love some inspiration and guidance to get my musings out…I have so much rolling around in my head I feel like it’s screaming; and I feel like I’m just waiting for something that’s never going to happen so appreciating the moments sounds like a great idea!
I wanted to comment that I found this such a beautiful powerful painting. (Oh and the opening lockdown thing has been strange for sure.)
Thank you for this chance. I would love a seat in the class. I have felt there is a book in me most my life. Now that I’m retired, I would love the chance to sit and sink into the art of writing. Thanks again for the chance. It’s August !
