Rat-Proof Your Life (Coming Out of Hiding – Notes on a Wood Board)

February 24, 2019

I write. A lot. I started journaling when I was 15 and never stopped. One of my greatest fears (which showed up in a dream just prior to a 10-day silent meditation retreat) is NOT being able to write. In the dream, I wrote with pencil on the bottom of my foot.
