What are you currently reading?

I would love to share with you a recommendation by my new friend Gail Boenning. Her latest book—Poise brings us into her story of hope, grace, and resilience.

She offers beautiful questions to engage the reader and weaves in her "C" challenge with wisdom and wit. Her book is beautiful and a breath of fresh air.

Today’s poem out loud is inspired by Gail’s generosity.

Looking Back with Gratitude

Good morning!

Thank you for listening in to Run to Write Poetry.

Where would you like to escape to? is the inspiration for today's poem out loud.

You are invited—Write together Friday is tomorrow!

We meet back in our Zoom room this Friday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST.

What is Write Together Friday?

This is a weekly digital meet-up that gives you the support, time, and accountability to sit down and write with others. Absolutely no writing experience is necessary to join – all types of writing and writers are welcome.

How does it work?

Write together Friday is an opportunity to write for an hour. You write whatever you’d like. And you do it in the (virtual) company of other Run to Write community members.

We’ll be together on Zoom for an hour with two blocks of writing. We’ll take a brief break in the middle and cheers to each other at the end. Here’s how the current structure looks:

* Welcome and lightning intros

* Two minute warm up writing prompt

* 25’ish minutes of writing

* Break (snapshot to celebrate)

* 25’ish minutes of writing

* Wrap up and next steps

A huge thank you goes out to Ethos Connect for allowing me to use their Zoom room and structure here.

I invite you to write with us tomorrow at 11 a.m. (EST). Please join us here in our Zoom room.

Keep Writing, Keep Going— poem out loud.

Today’s poem out loud was published in Staring Down a Dream: A Mom, a Marathoner, a Mission. I re-wrote and changed a few stanzas.

I hope it encourages you today to keep going.

Take good care,

Julie
