My word! Every line rang true to my current experience in life.I even posted today for the first time in months. Thank you so much for these words… truly. ❤️
This is such a beautiful piece! And a wonderful reminder of what really matters. Allowing that inner child to come out and play makes life so much more fun! And you’re so right - at the end of the day, the impact to even one person MATTERS 💗 thank you so much! (PS your watercolor art is so lively and warm - I love it!!)
The article "Find the Courage to Be Seen" delves into the common fears writers face when sharing their work publicly. It encourages embracing vulnerability and overcoming self-doubt, highlighting that even renowned authors like Maya Angelou and J.K. Rowling experienced similar apprehensions. The piece serves as a motivating reminder that growth and creativity flourish when we step beyond our comfort zones.
Your words found me at a time when I am just starting to share my creative writing side with the world. I’ve kept it private for essentially my entire adult life, and now as I’m sharing more and more public writing, my courage is constantly tested with what I’m willing to share, and just how vulnerable I’m willing to allow myself to be on the internet.
Thank you for sharing this. Today, the universe seems to be sending me a clear message to lean in and keep telling my story the only way I know how. Thank you passing along the message.
I definitely feel much more comfortable sharing the knowledge I have than personal stories. I have decided to start small and hopefully my voice will get stronger as I do ✨💖
It does get better with time.

Thank you Lavender. It does matter that we play and do art and write if we are drawn to that!

Jeanette,
Your words found me at a time when I am just starting to share my creative writing side with the world. I’ve kept it private for essentially my entire adult life, and now as I’m sharing more and more public writing, my courage is constantly tested with what I’m willing to share, and just how vulnerable I’m willing to allow myself to be on the internet.

We're all in that to and fro dance of whether and what to share. It's a loop with ourselves and a constant checking in with how we feel.
Love this Jeanette, I agree so much with the itch needing to be scratched! Also wanted to say how much I love this painting (again!!)
Love this and so timely for me. Thank you 1000 times thank you 🤍
I definitely feel much more comfortable sharing the knowledge I have than personal stories. I have decided to start small and hopefully my voice will get stronger as I do ✨💖
I've found more courage and clarity the more I write and share.
Thank you for that insight, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼 I do find the more I write the clearer things get it’s why I love Journalling so much ✨💖
You ever try oil painting?
Not yet! I'm glad to see you have.
It looks like a very successful attempt to me!
At the risk of anthropomorphising, that looks like one very courageous and determined bird!
That’s funny, Tai!
Such a beautiful read✨your Substack speaks to the soul!
Thank you for this. I’m just embracing the courage to write and it’s been exhilarating to just let go of the excuses holding me back and just do it.
I look forward to seeing you write Lianne.
Thank you, Jeanette for the kind words and for the follow. 😊
Thanks for the push to be brave and thanks for sharing the lovely painting. Very pretty,
Thank you so much 💓 I will post my life.
Beautifully said, Jeanette!
Every word resonated with me, made me smile, made me tear up and had me nodding.
Thanks so much for sharing this encouraging piece and keep up the painting. Its beautiful 💕
Thank you Sal for saying that about the words and the painting. It means a lot to me when something I create resonates.
