Daily Nourishment (and Announcements!) for February 1-28, 2025
Please visit the links below for this month’s SDW Daily Nourishment offerings using previous Spiritual Direction for Writers® posts or emails. Enjoy!
Please Note: The links are from the past, so any announcements in the links are most likely no longer relevant. And there might be some repeated Pauses, Prompts, and Practices here and there. Repeats are not a problem because every time you return to a familiar SDW Pause, Prompt, and Practice you bring a different version of yourself that’s been formed by all the things you’ve experienced, thought, discovered, gained, and lost since the last time you encountered the them. Because all of life is the writing life and we are always being formed to make the art we will make when it’s time to make the art we will make.
Here are a few announcements that are definitely relevant for the coming days and weeks:
>>> Here’s a list of current SDW offerings

>>> If you’re in Birmingham, please mark your calendars for the first Image Reading Group Gathering on Sunday, February 23 from 3-4:15 p.m.. More details coming soon.
