Do you like making lists?

I LOVE making lists. And I love making lists about what lists I should make. But DID YOU KNOW.... that lists can be poems? Maria Mosca is one of my favorite humans and when we started working together (almost 2 years ago now? Is that right?) she was feeling called to more creative pursuits. Writing, specifically. And writing poetry. AND NOW LOOK AT HER! Maria is co-hosting a List Poem workshop with Doula of Words, and this is a MUST for you if you feel like you've somehow gotten disconnected from your creative voice. Remember: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OVERTHINK POETRY. Poetry is innate to you as a human in the way that birdsong is innate to birds. You have it in you. And the more you let it out, the better you will feel! Still need some convincing?
And if you want MORE MARIA (which I always do!) you can subscribe to her substack where she writes about food, feelings, and finding yourself. |

I love to daydream about cozy mornings drinking coffee on the porch. But I found myself procrastinating and making excuses. I would start...
Do you remember when you first learned about the Salem Witch Trials? I asked a few friends (aka I made an instagram poll) and we all seemed to agree our first encounter with this particular historical event was in elementary school, age 7 or 8 maybe. I'm not surprised we learn about this so early, because HOLY SHIT what an effective tool to teach young girls to behave, be "good", and not cause trouble. We learn about it again in High School, where Arthur Miller's The Crucible is still...
UGH. Is anything worse than someone telling you that you SHOULD feel grateful? Gratitude is a key part of any manifestation, prayer, or magic practice. Basically, in order to get more of what you want in life, it's so very key to FEEL GRATEFUL for what you have. But lots of us have built up strong resentments around the world Grateful. Maybe, just *maybe* we've been using it to shame and gaslight women for UNTOLD CENTURIES. (Actually, just checked. The word originated in 1580. But I bet we've...
