Thank you, Suleika. I think this will be so helpful for me. I spent the last year feeling anxiety surrounding planning and dreaming. I’m a caregiver for my Mom and between episodes of my intense pain and my Mom’s emotional and physical challenges, I became afraid to plan and dream. I began to think more about the what ifs instead of what could be “magical”. Thank you for your encouraging words. I’m sending you love and prayers for healing. 💗
I love that you offer interesting challenges to your readers every New Year. Last year I created a variation of your writing challenge by dedicating myself to 10 minutes ( or more) of doodling early each morning with my non-negotiable coffee. I was tired of reading my own words so chose to go back to another love, drawing. I had no intention for this easy playful practice to change my life, yet my life changed in “magical” ways. My art life blossomed, one easy day at a time. I was invited to teach workshops on doodling ( and learned a lot in the preparation), drawings morphed into sculptures, mobiles, and fiber-forms, and 3 of the doodles were shown in a group show in a local gallery ( one sold). All I did was prioritize play, and joy unfolded. This year I plan to make some kind of art daily, AND take your seven day journaling challenge.
Thank you, Suleika, for loving so hard, so gently, so completely. The world is so much better because of you.
I’m looking forward to doing this. I love journaling but had a break, now thinking about it, it was since my mum passed away this Summer, so even that is a great insight.⭐️
Thx Suleika. Journaling is the best tool I have for keeping me on track. Sometimes I wonder why I put it off esp when doing it is what gets me out of being stuck. I have been on a chemo journey of my own this year and know from personal experience how much it helps me. Thx for the nudge.
I somehow erased day 3 of the 5,day Journaling. My beloved man is going in for cancer surgery. It’s an all day surgery so I’m saving the journaling for the waiting room . Can you please resend day 3 to me.
Just to clarify, are the Prompts for the week, 1-5, the same as the writing challenge to be released January 1st? It’s a heavy time emotionally and grief-wise so I am in need of clarification. I am a paid subscriber . Thank you
I am looking forward to this challenge. A question: should I be getting weekly prompts via email? I don’t although I do receive receipts for my subscription.
Going out to get a new journal today. Wish the Isolation Journal from last year were available. I love mine, but alas, it is full. Seems to me we did a 30 day challenge, was it last year? Feels like yesterday or somewhere in the "other time". Generating these juicy prompts is a boatload of effort. Maybe we could recycle the 30 day challenge prompts. Hey, Kate, good idea. Think I will. No doubt there are prompts I wrote down that I meant to get to and didn't. There they are, in my old journal just sitting there waiting for me. Suleika, Happy, Happy New Year. You are a sweetpea. Or as I call my most beloved friend, a love bucket, honey doodle. You are a friend of my heart and my pen.
I, too, share your love for journaling, four legged friends and yoga mats to gently remember we are so much more than the sorrows we go through or the fears we could get stuck in - until we be brave to say what hurts in the collective embrace of kind souls like the ones that i see show up here. Thank you suleika for healing us together with the blessings of your wise words and beautiful artworks🙏This collective journaling is a Perfect way to start 2025💕
For years I wrote an "I did It" list, but I like these list combinations so much better. They are more rounded and fleshed out, giving me a better perspective of my past, present and future, which I sorely need. I think I am finally ready to write them after climbing up a very unforgiving mountain. You keep climbing, too, Suleika. I'm with you every step of the way.

Still seeking clarification on this as well
