WEEK 10 SUBSTACK: REFLECTIONS | SHOUT-OUTS

Connecting Voices, Sharing Stories, and Embracing Kindness: A Week of Learning and Inspiration

May 30, 2025

🌿 REFLECTIONS

It’s been another nourishing and soul-filling week here on Substack.

After returning from Road Trip 2025, I had the joy of joining Claudia Faith in a LIVE session that left me smiling wide and thanking the Universe for our heartfelt and spirit-lifting conversation. Here’s the link to our LIVE session.

Thank you, Claudia, for taking the time to host this session and for sharing all your gifts so generously with the Substack community. 💛

I’m still not exactly sure where this creative journey is headed—but the path continues to unfold, one beautiful day at a time. And for now, that’s more than enough.

My longing to be part of a larger creative community — one that values peace, kindness, the written word, the human experience, and lifting each other up — only continues to grow.

✨ Top Three Takeaways:

⭐ Substack honors the creative spirit and leaves oceans of room for exploration.
⭐ There's never enough time to read everything—but reading and commenting on just a few posts each day brings unexpected joy.
⭐ Restacking a post is like giving someone a present. In one small click, you've honored their words and helped them reach new hearts. Beautiful!

Discovering Zalman Nelson’s Substack felt like stepping into a treasured sanctuary—one where I instantly felt supported, understood, and seen. His writing offers a deep well of insight and compassion, and I find myself returning to his notes again and again. They always seem to land exactly where and when I need them.

Here is a Note that resonated deeply:

✨ Zalman’s bio says it all:
Therapist. Emotional strength training for people-pleasers & anyone tired of keeping everyone happy. Solid boundaries, trust yourself, and have great relationships.
