Ohhh I love this, rejection as a catalyst for hope. Elizabeth Gilbert in Big Magic has the most inspiring stories for rejection, ever since reading her book I really felt a shift happen with my relationship to rejection.

Thanks for the deadline! Will be in touch soon ;)

Ooh, this is a little bit spine tingling. Thank you Claire. And how did I miss this call for your anthology. I have much to say on the topic of rejection 🤣 Time to get writing I think - I do love a short deadline

Good mor i g Claire! Thanks for taking the time to share your magic with the world. Bringing words out from the darkness into the light—I love that. It’s why I journal on most days. My journal has become a place where I write just for me. A space to explore the depths of my soul each day. To make sense of the chaos that goes on inside. As a creator, I feel the urge to want to make sense of the lessons and wisdom and turn it into art for the world. However, I’m learning that sometimes it’s ok for something to be just for my eyes only. It doesn’t make it any less valuable or beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead filled with unexpected miracles and magic ✨💫🙏🏽🫶🏽
