A daily creative practice... soul enriching... I’ve been reading a lot... light fiction interspersed with Frankl, Tolstoy, Adichie’s book on Grief, books I am using in the Saturday class that I’m teaching on Saturdays at Salem State. It’s not always easy, but always heart and soul tending. Good night.

So glad that you do, take the time to engage in the kind of practice that you do in the morning by the way. Nice to know that you have that for the day.

I don't think I know Adichie's book on Grief -- would love to hear more about it. I keep hearing about things and forgetting them, and it does sound familiar...

Good on you for carving out time for yourself. It's not easy to do.
