I’m very glad I found your Substack Josie. I think I can learn from a lot from you. My life has become very different over the last few years since my MS decided to show up in ways it didn’t at first, and I’m navigating a different sort of life from the one I had imagined. Your posts feel open, full of grace and care, and are very inspiring to me. 💕
Oh Jane! Sending you much, much love. Thank you so much for this. Our bodies can feel like such prisons, but they are our most valuable, tender teachers too. Thank you for being here with me.
What a gorgeous piece of writing. I am really savoring the "child-body", what that aspect of ourselves wants, fears...I will use that as a prompt in my own writing, I think. So happy to have found your substack.
A beautiful piece of writing, Josie. Allotments are such wonderful places! I just wrote a piece about my love for my allotment, my struggles with it, and my challenges with chronic health issues.
Thank you for your luminous words. Now I'm thinking about stars & dark holes & pin points of light. I'll be off to the edgelands of York tomorrow, looking for blackberries.
I felt rocked by your voice Josie. Lulled by the heat of your alottment story. So lovely. And the bright photos painting their own pictures of all you have described. Thank you for bringing me there.💚
very evocative writing, i feel like i'm there with you. my newest essay i posted also is about summer taking me back to my childhood. it must be that time of year
Love this writing so much. Thank you ❤️

This is beautiful. I love the idea of a child-body. I'm going to ponder that.
