Yes. Gladly. I hear that this was a hard ask for you, and again I am in awe and inspired by your courage to ask and to keep being the creative person you are.
Thank you so much for recognising how scary it was/is. I worried a lot that people would think I was silly. Thank you for your compassionate, generous heart!
Hi Josie, just to say I’ve finally got round to reading A Still Life and it’s lovely. Especially your writing about your son, and the phrase “an older, wilder God”. Just wonderful.
Every time I read one of your posts it gives me the gift of a new perspective on something I’m experiencing. How could I not offer something in return?
Hi lovely. Could you send me a link to change my subscription to paid, please? It won’t let me change it in the app. I know this is a big scary step, but it is the right one. Deep breaths.
Ooh, I'm not sure there is a way for me to do that! Perhaps unsubscribe then subscribe again and you'll be sent more options? Sorry!! Thank you SO much, you gorgeous thing xxx
YES - I too have a wildly exuberant passionflower rampaging over my kitchen window! I love it and hate it but we coexist. Delighted to support more lovely bimblings into my email - thanks for asking as I've been a but worried about you! X
"I see you and I’m glad you’re here. I want you to keep writing. I want your work and your body in the world."
Yes indeed I do 💞
Yes, this. Me too ❤️
Me too 😊
me too!
Thank you for being brave enough to ask for what you need.
Your words always resonate so deeply with me,
tears usually come.
I hear you.

I've been so scared! I am so so lucky to have you all. Thank you Mo x
Done, thank you for trusting us enough to ask x
That is such a lovely thing to say xxx
Also! This week I had to tell people I hadn’t had time to write my substack. You know what? Nobody minded! Xx
We didn’t! Relax everyone and stand down x
I actually gave a little cheer that you were giving yourself more time! x
Josie, your voice is vital. x
Thank you so much for believing in me!

Thank you Cat!!
Every time I read one of your posts, my heart leaps. Joy seeps in. Thank you.
Remley! I'm going to write that down and keep it as a touchpoint. Thank you so much for this gift.
"I know it doesn’t make any sense, but perhaps to those of you who have been there, it does make sense"
It does. Thank you for sharing this 💚
