Our evolution in community with each other has followed the evolution in our writing. Or is it the other way around? I know I would not have published an iota of what is out there since 2020 - whether on page or Substack - without the encouragement, support and .. uh hum shoving? of the Crows!
I think there is something in the water! I have to connect with Dominik again.
Actually, COMMUNITY is my word for 2025. It was driven by reading Jon Haidt's book Anxious Generation and noticing that the fracturing of robust, healthy communities contributed to the social vacuum that got filled with screens (of all sizes).
Community (Tribe Tilt for example) is my endeavour to redress that balance.
What a special time this is Karena! So lovely to be in your company, to share this physical space with all of us together, and in Ireland! Love how you tie it back with your earlier trip with your young family.
I noted the look of surprise on your face when you read my odd title over my shoulder earlier, Margaret! I love water, and this seems such a peaceful spot to lay myself down to rest. Permanently.
We joined to write, but we gained so much more. 'Sisterhood' is truly what we have built, and it is a treasure.

So true...we have been known to nudge each other out of the nest from time to time....
No thanks. But I hope to! Would you believe I haven’t been there yet? It’s on the list for me. Enjoy every minute!
It is a beautiful country!!!
Writing "besties", author "squads", word witch "covens"--whatever you want to call them, they are essential!
Oh, what fun for the Crows to gather together. It's wonderful seeing all of you together. Have a wonderful time! Big hugs to each of you.
I'll pass along the message!! So much creativity in one spot!
The wise matriarchal energy coming off the photo of you all writing together is palpable. This is the second article I've read in the last two days about the magic intentional group energy. Community is in the air. https://dominiksnotebook.substack.com/p/i-invited-8-strangers-to-my-house

You're a community champion and star Karena.
Takes one to know one!

Meantime, I'm up for exploring Ireland!
Beautiful! Enjoy your time in great company. What a gift.
Thanks! Anything you want whilst I'm here? Or have you already explored Ireland and your roots?
Love how much this piece POP'd with The Crows reflection
And everything feels way better when the ticket feels like a steal 😂
Thanks Ved. Travel steals are really the best!
This community of writers feeds me daily with their support. What I am able to feed forward in WoP I first learned at their feet.
