Hello And Welcome

I feel better now. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off of me and I can finally breathe again.

In March this year I announced to my substack followers that I was fixing to leave the platform because I could no longer be there in the light of their tendencies to allow racism to be spread on the platform. I was fixing to leave and then did nothing about it. But this also meant I didn’t write anything else there either. Until today.

I wrote about the above little purple flower. And how they and I have something in common, we choose to grow where we choose to grow and thrive in the process. In the cracks, in the margins, we find freedom.

I’ve left substack now but left my archive.

I simply migrated my subscribers from there to here. Totally understand if this isn’t your bag and you choose to leave. But this is my home and there is no place I find more safe and reassuring and room to grow than here, my own website. This is something I’ve been forgetting of late as I’ve been quiet and to some extent paralysed therefore. not really writing, sharing or dreaming in public for reasons I’m not too sure. But I’ll find out in time, all will be revealed. I trust in the process, in my decisions and in my potential to create my centre out of the margins and edges.

So welcome to my home. I hope you’ll be comfortable here. This home has been around since 2017 and it’s a creative archive of my progress and process which I am very proud of and continue to invest in. I’m happy you could stop by.

Let’s not be strangers and let’s connect on a deeper level. Always x

  1. Good to know you’ve come through a difficult period and made a decision about where you feel comfortable. If you ever have the need to come to the Midlands, there’s a bed here for you. I’m attending a poetry writing group again and loving it. It’s adults Writing for Wellbeing. The group is interestingly neurodiverse and I must say I feel really comfortable within this group.

  3. Hi Sheree! I’m grateful for this post because I’ve been wondering about Substack after seeing so many people there. But you confirmed the doubts I was having. You’re absolutely right about our own websites. Hope you’re doing well.
