I felt #7 in my soul. Imagining the reactions of others is what’s kept me from sharing my work in the past. I don’t want that fear to immobilize me again. Thank you for the powerful reminder.

In my humble opinion, number 3 is the key to understanding the difference between writing and weaving a spell that captures a reader in a web. Nope, I don't write but having a voracious reading habit over many decades, I have a giant respect for those who do. And one thing I've learned to recognize is the difference between someone writing as a task or job to complete and someone writing from the heart and soul. Someone sharing a story that they MUST express because they just can't contain it. Keep doing and going where your heart leads Kate because that's why I enjoy reading your words so much. It's obvious they're from the heart.

These are great, Kate, thanks! Following my intuition is a big one for me. I've been practicing this more this year, so this resonated with me. Allowing rest is another one. Play in writing is so important, letting it flow to get at that deeper material, where the magic is. Wishing you lots of magic this year!

These do resonate, especially 4. I’m going to visualize haunting my own spring now as a way to ground myself-and as someone irresistibly drawn to water, I find your imagery and intentions speaking to my heart. Thank you for sharing, Kate.
