Participation Update for Our Writing Community

February 16, 2026

Good morning, Stay Zen family,

As co-owner of this space, we want to speak clearly and respectfully about something important to the health of our community.

Since our writing group began in October, our goal has always been to build a circle where pens grow stronger and people grow deeper with themselves. This space was created for writers who show up, share, respond, and pour into one another. We are not focused on numbers. We are focused on presence, intention, and community.

Because of that, members who have not participated at all from October through now, February 2026, will be removed from the group by tomorrow morning.

This is not a punishment. Life gets heavy. Seasons change. We understand that. Anyone who is removed is welcome to return when they are ready to truly engage, write with us, respond to others, and be part of the growth we are building here together.

Stay Zen, Gimme The Mic, Love & Lyrics and every room we curate are meant to be living spaces. Spaces where voices are heard, encouragement is shared, and healing happens through words. We want members who are ready to step in with intention, not simply hold a seat.

If you are still here and active, thank you for showing up with your ink and your heart. You are the reason this community continues to breathe and we appreciate the time you have dedicated to this space.

With respect and appreciation,

Miss Lady & Angel Kim

Owner & Co-Owner of Stay Zen Writing Community
