Learning To Fly

On today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast I shared the poems: "When the Bough Breaks" by Andrea Gibson, "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath, "The Soul has  Bandaged Moments" by Emily Dickenson, "The Backyard Mermaid" by Matthea Harvey, "Little Stones at my Window" by Mario Benedetti, and finally "How I am" by Jason Shinder. I hope that you'll listen to today's episode with care and as always take the time and space you need for yourself as we navigate these heavy topics - but also I encourage you to share this episode on your social media accounts and with your loved ones because today's episode is one of the more important ones I can put together. World Mental Health day is observed for this very reason - to encourage conversation, growth and a deeper understanding of what we as a global society actually need to help each other heal and develop and grow. 

I am thrilled to announce that today's guest is a fellow creative from within the Neil Hilborn Writing Circle Family and I'm so excited to also welcome them to our Learning to Fly family!!!!! We are discussing poetry, the concept of "coming out" to your family in more than the traditional sense and even exploring the subject of asexuality.

And of course, you already follow the podcast and myself everywhere you love staying in the loop - so keep it up and remember to share the posts and episodes that really hit home for you!

Today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast encourages us to take a step back and evaluate the way we treat ourselves and others as well. These are incredible poems, great for all ages and styles of life. I encourage you to share this episode, elaborate on it in your own voice and community, and as always continue to be the fabulous people I know each and every one of you are. 

P.s. I got my dates mixed up - it truly felt like a Wednesday today - the national days advertised at the beginning were really yesterday's celebrations - but better late than never to celebrate! Today is really, National Social Media day, national meteor watch day, and national handshake day (though please celebrate cautiously given that we are still very much in a pandemic!)
