My goodness I love your writing so! Even your journal reads like the most wonderful tale I want to be swept up in. I'm so sorry about the anxiety caused by the attacks on Iran and with your family there! Sending you and your family love.

I’m so happy that you’ve returned to writing on Substack Sofia—there is always something magical in the words you share in your essays. Thank you so much for your generous words re: our 100-Day Journaling project 💛. I've loved reading your beautiful responses to the two prompts here, and seeing you at work too—which has inspired me to do more writing outdoors🌳!

so glad to see your post in my inbox! i've missed your words and photos, your thoughtful sentences and inspiring pictures. fingers to keyboard/pen to paper, it matters not as long as the word, any words. flow.

Awww thank you so much, felice. I've also missed the feeling that my words get somewhere and connect with others. Thank you, as always, for reading and engaging.

Time has flown by. It is a lovely vignette for Brighton Beach. Probably just a little bit cooler than here by the overheated mar mediterráneo. I think world events overwhelm and I find it hard to be more creative but ideas are flowing again. Unfortunately I have had too much editing to do so not really put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard.

Thank you for reading, dear Georgina. I'm pleased I am not alone, but also to hear that ideas are flowing again. I find the process ebbs and flows with life.
