This is what happens when we are sapped of energy to be creative and true to ourselves. This loss of energy can come from the voice within, or it can come from others who criticize our words and stories because they are bringing their own issues to bear. In the face of such rebuke, we are sometimes drained of enthusiasm and passion to go about the delicate and hard work of writing.
This morning we welcomed three new members to the Circle - Jan and Flo who came from the Plymouth Meeting area and Karen, who is seen here reading from her novel and traveled from West Chester to be with us.
Many thanks, also, to Arleen and Laura for return visits and for helping make the Circle a warm, thoughtful and welcoming place with their words and their writing.
Please mark 9 a.m., Saturday June 12 on your calendar for the next meeting of the Circle at Wellington Square Bookshop in Exton.
Until then, keep writing. We are in this together.

Thanks, Susan, for your encouraging and thoughtful words. I especially like the phrase "we are in it together"....We sure are!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
