24 Days of Making, Doing, and Being: December 12
The depths of feeling.
Welcome to 24 Days of Making, Doing, and Being, a digital Advent calendar for slowing down and making space for presence, creativity, and gratitude. This is a seasonal offering for paid subscribers. Thank you for being here.
I’ve often been asked if I write these essays in advance. If I sit down with a bunch of coffee for an extended work session in the comfort of October and write a whole Advent calendar, then sit back and enjoy December in peace and calm.
Spoiler alert: I do not.
I feel that the only way to do this properly is to follow along with you. To know and feel what is happening in the world, to get a sense of where we all are, to navigate and adjust as need be. Writing too far in advance would make the whole thing feel rigid, forced.
This also means that there are some days that simply feel more difficult than others. The times when the weight of the world does in fact feel like a block, something that I can’t just write my way around.
