I love that you're sharing your creative journey! I just got to read this piece and appreciate the thoughtfulness on our external and internal lives. I feel the same about LinkedIn (with a grudging acceptance for it's utility in one's career). I love the idea here of tending your own garden and the garden of others in a more authentic way. Look forward to hearing more!

There’s a saying that’s something like, “spirituality is to the individual as community is to the group” - this communal spirit tending 💗 Something we can do quietly & together—that is not flashy & is simply for the sake of it. I’m so grateful to have that friend who asks to having a writing date or to collage. In fact I’m going to forward this along to them. Thank you for sharing, Mia! & I look forward to seeing you in writing group soon 😇

Thank you for sharing and for being one of my creative angels. You are an excellent facilitator and I’ll see you soon. 🥰 Forgetting to write while traveling but instead I’ll try to think of this time as information and inspiration gathering. Have a wonderful 4th!

My personal mantra: The Creative Process is more important than the results. I believe in it but don't always live by it. Thanks for the reminder!

Same here! I must continually remind myself of this. It’s hard. 😅

Another heartfelt post, Mia. Thank you for sharing! I am back in SF. If you have time this summer, and if you’re up for it, let’s do another IRL collage session. 💕
