Dear Mindful Community,

Thanks, you, for joining. May we use that hour to invest in good loneliness, ugly letting go, less busyness and laziness, and, yes: love in service.

Don't forget to read my favorite poem—it's timely, now. 👉https://elejrnl.com?p=233043

We'll do it again next Friday, and if it continues to be inspiring and fun and if you invite one loved one, and it continues to grow and be of service, we'll continue to offer this part of Elephant Academy, free. ~ Waylon

If you're inspired to join this community with mentors and myself and our curriculum, and join the Elephant Academy community, it's more affordable than it's ever been, or ever will be again, right now, for now.

I'm offering 60% off an already affordable program, because now is for going deeper. Use code​: WRITINGCLUB at elephantjournal.com/writingclub
