I am writing to introduce Whimsy and Pique, my new newsletter. I’m not entirely sure where this project will go, or even how often I’ll post, but there will be essays, and maybe poetry, and maybe other things…
I aim for nothing less than to bewitch you, inspire you, and get your emotions flowing….
As Mary Oliver writes:
“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?
While the soul, after all, is only a window,
and the opening of the window no more difficult
than the wakening from a little sleep.”
Will you join me at the window? Can I offer words to wake to? This is my hope.
I am an educator, single mom of 3, mediator and aspiring meditator, civil rights lawyer, and writer. I’m a literal and figurative leftie, seeker and finder of Beauty, avid walker, reading addict, baking amateur, and Scrabble fiend. Opinions, thoughts, and musings are very much my own, but feel free to adopt and/or quote them. Whatever the journey brings, I’m glad to have you with me.
I aspire not to crowd your inbox, and will aim for biweekly-ish* posts. The first post will arrive soon…
Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.
And please tell your friends!
*Biweekly meaning every two weeks, not twice a week, and also isn’t it ridiculous that English only has one word for both?
Looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing Jane and hope you're 2021 is off to a great start.
I'm already looking forward to the next post! Thank you for creating and sharing this!
