Our final session of the year is coming Tuesday. Are you coming? This week's Writer’s Circle was deeply reflective, honest, and powerful. A small group gathered — longtime members and brand-new writers — and what unfolded was healing, creativity, and real courage. One member described the group perfectly: “It’s like AA for authors — a place where you realize you’re not alone.” Writers shared vulnerability, grief, self-doubt, and big YES energy for their writing dreams. One member wrote her grandmother’s eulogy — and realized: “Writing felt cathartic… like I finally remembered who I am.” 🪄 Words Are Magic We explored the idea that writing isn’t just communication — it’s spell-casting. “To spell is to turn thought into reality.” What we think and say shapes our lives — especially our inner conversation. 🌒 Solstice + Becoming Sierra led a beautiful “Future Self” ritual: ✨ Write 13 ‘I AM’ statements — present-tense intentions about who you are becoming✨ Burn one each night✨ Keep the final one — the invitation to embody Because: “When you say ‘I will,’ you separate yourself from the life you want.” This wasn’t a productivity exercise. It was identity-level transformation. 💬 The Inner Critic Isn’t the Enemy Several writers struggled — especially writing in the present tense. That’s when the conversation turned tender and real. One insight landed deeply: “The energy we use to suppress parts of ourselves is massive — and wasted.” Instead of silencing your inner critic or wounded self… Invite her in.Give her a seat.Let her be part of the team. One member reflected through tears: “I’ve been shutting down parts of myself instead of accepting them.This helped me see they’ve always been trying to protect me.” That’s the magic of this space. Healing meets craft. Identity meets authorship. 🌟 An Invocation of Your Future Self This session wasn’t about goals or output. It was about becoming. Who are you when you finally believe yourself?Who are you when your voice leads?Who are you when you stop waiting for permission?
