Thank you so much Kelly French for inviting us to the memorial run for your Dad. We had a great time. I loved meeting so many amazing new friends!

Thank you Run to Write Community for your prayers and support of my sister Becky and her family. They've faced significant challenges this past week. However, they have wonderful news: their sweet baby girl—Alice Marie (Ali) is here! Her arrival has brought much needed happiness and light.

Unfortunately, Becky and her family are currently unable to return to their home and may face a lengthy process before they can do so. We would appreciate your continued prayers for guidance and clarity as they navigate this situation.

On Monday I asked if you could describe a time when you stepped outside your comfort zone. Today’s poem is inspired by this reflection.

I shared a story on Monday about my encounter with beavers on Saturday’s long run. I was eager to show my children and today's poem is inspired by our visit.

Thank you for listening in and/or reading.

Please feel free to share with someone who may benefit.

Take good care,

Julie

A story about writing and resistance...

“Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. … If you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get. Resistance is always lying and always full of s**t.”

—Steven Pressfield|the War of Art

Keep going and doing your important work,

Julie
