So important, but I’m not sure one of them is like the other, at least not for me. Is writing a book an act of joy? Creativity, yes, but I’m not sure I can say it’s a joy for me, more something that must come out, if that makes sense.

“Make time for joy and creativity. Do things regularly that light you up and make you feel good. Dance (even if just in the kitchen), craft, walk in nature, go stargazing, read more books, WRITE a book.”

they're all just suggestions - some people may not find the kitchen very joyful either! But I think we can all discover what feels joyful and meaningful for us

I've been reflecting on turning 50 in a year. So much of this is what I'm putting in place. It's good to read it here. 😊
