“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Mary Oliver
This week I’m thinking about the Summer Self who stops waiting to be invited.
So often we wait for permission, company, perfect timing, better weather, a clearer diary, a more together version of ourselves, when actually the door is already open and summer is standing there in sandals, wondering what on earth is taking us so long.
Maybe this week your Summer Self can just dive in and get back in the pool.
Writing prompt:
Where am I waiting to be invited, and what could I gently invite myself into this week?
Want to create a writing practice? Come join us at Heart Leap.
If you’ve been meaning to write — your journal, your Substack, your book, your Big Beautiful Thing — but somehow always end up reorganising the fridge instead… welcome home.
At Heart Leap, I host four writing hours a week Monday to Thursday from 9–10am GMT. We chat for five minutes at the start, five at the end, and the rest of the time we simply write together. No pressure or performance, just a calm, friendly corner of the internet where pages get filled and ideas stop hiding.
If you need accountability, a regular rhythm, or a space where other writers are also muttering “why is this so hard?”, you’ll be in excellent company.
We also have a Writing Rehab class on the first Wednesday of the month and we run the 12 week Artist’s Way once a year.
If you want 2026 to be the year your writing life finally feels supported, fun and alive, subscribe for £7 a month and come write with us.
(Do subscribe on desktop rather than the app, otherwise Apple charge an extra 30%.)
