Raising Our Voices

Dear Brave Ones, It is time to raise our voices. Even if you're not personally writing about what this government is doing to women or the environment or the Native Americans, it is time to write! It is time to create! It is time to respond!

It is time to work with more intention to say what it is you are here to say even if you don't yet truly know all of what that is. It is time to try.

If the call to create is freaking you out, please reach out and say so! I will be teaching an Inner Critic Course to help you create a new relationship with your Inner Critic. I’d be happy to add you to the class list. I’m designing it now and trying to find the right time to offer it, so if you want to be a part of it, let me know.

It is time to find out what is inside of you hoping to be heard. Even if it's only for your own eyes. We must not ignore or deny this moment. We must not hide from each other or -- most importantly -- we must not hide from ourselves.

What are you dreaming about? Can you envision a better future? Can you tell a story that helps us out of this? Can you write a song or a poem to shift things along? Can you refer us back to a bleak time in the past and show us how you got through that?

Can you help us move forward? Can you give us hope? Can you light the way? Who among us has something to say? In words or images. In verse or prose.

It is all already in you. We are born creative. We are here to make the future. Start today. Begin in Brave Space. Join me!
