I hope I'm not too late to join this thread and share my most recent post on The Ramble. I've only just begun my Substack journey (and not sure where it will take me), but I'm enjoying the process. I write about travel, art, history, tennis, books...anything that sparks my curiosity.
I went full cringe this week ,(as my 13-year-old son would say), writing AND recording a parody of the song "One Day More" from the musical/movie "Les Misérables". I have a terrible singing voice so I used a voice changer to make me sound like Santa Claus. "One Nay More", sung by U.S. senators, is about needing one more "nay" vote on Trump's Big Beautiful (Bullshit) Bill (spoiler alert: it passed). Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying.
This is gonna sound pedantic, but I think (hope) I made it relatable enough. This week I wrote about the difference between explanatory and justifying reasons--you know when you say "I get it, but that's no excuse"? Here's what's going on.
Hi all, I hope you're all finding moments of joy in-between the madness of our world. This week I wrote about "every emotion" I was feeling after the senate voted to approve this spending bill, as an empath and mother of adults with disabilities.
This one is about the 4 pillars of longevity... something everyone should incorporate into their weekly routine, but especially those of us at midlife.
I interviewed a creativity researcher for my show and some things she said sparked my interest in writing about creativity from the perspective of what the current administration is doing to our science infrastructure and the US's unique relationship to creativity. Next month's full episode of The Babblery is about the science infrastructure, so this piece connects my two subjects.
For Pride month, I opened up my normal paid posts and shared the story of meeting my partner. Our origin was transformative for me. I've learned how to be safe to move into the darkness I could never explore under the hetero-patriarchy of my former marriage.
Maybe you should package the voodoo of your "slutty little dress." (But I have a feeling y'all would have fallen for each other without it.) Happy Pride all the time!
Happy 4th, all. This week I wrote about an incredible writer's retreat I recently attended in Santa Barbara, and how it got me thinking about mindful observation, wonder (and wonder's cousin, gratitude).
Hi Jessica! 👋
I’ve been writing about how we pursue wholeness and integrate our values into each aspect of our lives.
My latest installment is on emotional health 👉🏼: https://joywakefield.substack.com/p/facets-of-human-wholeness-emotional?r=2sh6u5
Or if you prefer to listen 🎧: https://joywakefield.substack.com/p/facets-of-human-wholeness-emotional-858?r=2sh6u5
Will go & check out your Substack!
Happy Sunday! I wasn't planning on posting, but a quote from the book, The Pivot Year, inspired a pause, a poem, and a promise--all surrounding WHO DO YOU INTEND TO BE? https://vanessanovissimowright.substack.com/p/who-do-you-intend-to-be

This week I wrote about life throwing me a curveball, brain science around goals, and a bit about Wimbledon. https://rachelbucci.substack.com/p/best-laid-plans THANKS!

For a long time I was ashamed of being fired from my job.
I started writing about it anyway.
And I learned how many people around me also felt deep shame after being dismissed by employers—good, smart, hardworking people.
Over time I’ve realized I’m not responsible for an employer’s behavior, problems, failures.
And neither are you. Chin up. Keep going.

This week I wrote about writing and reading (books) as the foundation of resistance.
Have a great vacation, Jessica!

I posted some of my favorite spreads from the creative journal I just finished. Journaling this way has really opened my creativity! https://open.substack.com/pub/treuwords/p/messy-meaningful-mine
Thanks for letting us market our content.

This week's post is actually a podcast episode, but I also included the text. (It's better in audio, which is at the top of the piece.) https://babblery.substack.com/p/claim-your-creativity-with-joanne

I loved your story. I'd be interested to hear more about that darkness if you're ever feeling up to writing about that.
