Dear Lauren, the Universe always provides. I found 'Staring at Lakes' by Michael Harding a great read during the long dark night of the soul. Insight Timer also has really cool meditations and insights into the workings of the mind. Stay safe. Anne (aka Kitty Dingle)

If you do feel the need to be back in a cage, just make sure you leave the door open. That way you can see the world, see that it is not so scary, see that there are people out there who will help and support you. Good luck with your next steps to workable work.

When I see you on the screen at the LWS each morning, it lights up the session and I know I'm in great hands with you leading what has become a haven for me. I leap into the unknown in these sessions, feeling like I'm not necessarily worthy to join a group of 'real writers' with my meandering morning pages and it's you that has given me great confidence to be there Lauren. You, have already taken the leap brilliant woman and you are already a great coach - I see it on these mornings in action. Doubts be gone...you are already magnificent.

We are all so lucky to have someone like you share this journey so openly <3 You probably know this: you're working it out as you write. You're making your way towards the end. Those steps that feel small? Giant leaps. We are all still recovering. And you're doing more work than you give yourself credit for. Those quiet moments, those days of staring, that's healing. That's hard work <3

I am feeling very much the same my friend -- but I know that whatever you do and whatever pace you do it at will be great because you are great! "It's never the right time, the right time is when the thing you want is pulling on the strings of your soul and begging you to listen" (I cannot remember where I got this quote, its on a post-it at my desk and has been for some time but it helps me when I am feeling overwhelmed with "I have to move, I have to do the thing").
