I loved reading your abstract. So resonant. And TY for the book recommendation! I love Barbara Kingsolver and didn't know about that book. Create on, Lauren. xoxo

I’m so glad to hear it was resonant. And happy (belated?) birthday! I actually never read any of her other work. Would there be any you’d recommend?

The Bean Trees, Pigs in Heaven, Animal Dreams, The Poisonwood Bible, Flight Behavior. I haven't read her books in quite.a while and just went to her website to check out what she's been writing. So, thx for reminding me about her! xoxo

Resonate so much with this. The part urging me to stay in the process of things. Thank you for sharing!

Yes! It’s definitely a space I thrive. I’ve found what I need here. Even if that doesn’t always look like finished or complete things.

A beautiful read for understanding your process. As you process I’m reading what your path is as you are on a way of discovery and making choices.

At this time I’m studying landscapes. Metaphorically, I’m also listening to my internal landscape and researching the outer landscape. nearby.

So, I guess we’re both on journeys to discoveries with intense curiosity. Enjoy your space your present in right now. 😊

I think I thrive in that space - in the space of discovery and making choices. And find the space between my outer landscapes and inner landscapes so fascinating. I hope you enjoy your presence, too!

Of course this is the one side of the coin, but let's leave it there for now.

Or let's write a book on it, here in the comments 🤣

I would actually say that the whole of our lives, is an inner experience. 🤲

I absolutely love this and definitely resonate with the idea of always being in the process...probably why that's the name of my newsletter!

It sort of dawned, the name of your newsletter, and I think it’s the reason why I felt an immediate connection to you. Cheers to being in process and embracing all its imperfect shapes!
