Hello! Happy to be here. I came to you via your comment on the Oldster Mag ‘who are you’ Friday roundup. I love Oldster Mag and I love Elizabeth Gilbert and I love Big Magic. I also love wandering. Once I came back from a retreat where I was part of several women’s circles. I told my friend I wish there was a women’s circle in my community and she said, “well, start one!”. This felt like a large undertaking I was not qualified to do, but then I pulled a card from my oracle deck and it had an image of three women on it and on the bottom it said “We are all sisters and reflect on the divine in one another.” I took this as a sign and started a circle, which ran monthly for years, created many friendships and is something I am deeply proud of. Big magic. In a bit of a wandering place in my life now… looking for the next hint. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
This was just the most lovely wandering missive. I loved wandering along side you as you did this and that and recounted your thoughts along the way in real time like it was a reality TV show inside your mind. It’s just so cool when the style of a piece of art or writing resonates with the subject matter…if you know what I mean…

Great to meet you here, fellow wanderer. That is such a great story about the women’s circle. Very cool!
Leah, love this wander and totally feel you (to use an overused sentiment!) on the Liz Gilbert gestalt! Magic? Is there magic? Hug away! 😃
Yes I think there’s magic! (If we say so!)

Thanks Josh! We can all wander and wonder together on substack!
Keep wandering ❣️ and stay bitchy 😁
That won’t be hard. Lol
