1. I think you'll like The Casual Birder podcast (a friend of mine makes it) https://casualbirder.com/
2. I saw Elizabeth Gilbert speak in person here in Copenhagen a couple of days ago. Life changing moment in my life. I wrote about some main points on LinkedIn today but TLDR, focusing on being present over searching for our purpose might be a calmer way to move through the world.
Thank you, Steph! I will check out that podcast. That’s a perfect description of me: casual birder! Also—you got to see Liz in person?!?! How amazing! She has been a major influence in my life since I was fifteen and I’m very grateful to her.
Yea, it felt so random seeing her in Copenhagen. And the audience reactoon to her was equally powerful. She is so wise. Not the perfect word for it but close. Years ago chapter 5 in Bjg Magic helped me come to terms with my creativity's messiness that was so freeing.
Overjoyed to read this letter this morning! Thrilled you are here and sharing this gift with us.
I often also consider my identities, as well as feel imposter syndrome on some of them, lately I have been embracing the ‘multihyphenate’ that I/we truly are as humans. All this to say, writer is in you and it is a special skill you have (thank you sharing it!).
“If you can’t write it with wonder and awe don’t write it at all!” -I am trying to embrace this in life as a whole, thank you for the beautiful reminder. A conversation with my husband yesterday hit home on this concept. I think we (as a society) are somewhat making it normal to complain about everything and anything.
I’m extra intrigued to hear from you re- disconnection from nature writing, as I feel this in my soul and am working on reconnecting desperately!
EMA! All of it, as usual, has my heart singing YES. Thank you for the birds, for your presence, for your words. Always glad to read a letter from you, regardless of title or branding. Cheers to being whatever about the algorithm. I'm with you on here, out there 💙🕯
Hello!!! 👋🏽 thank you for the birds and your beautiful thoughts and words. Couldn’t agree more and so glad to hear the grass was greener!
“I want the process of writing, the process of publication, and if someone chooses to respond I’ll be chuffed indeed. But I’m only entitled to the process, not the results, and I don’t want to forget that.” 💗
Also, “the myth of the individual carbon footprint”!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love the bird sounds! A few thoughts:

Also, how do I find your writing on LinkedIn? Would love to read your thoughts on being present v searching.
It was a brief post because I knew there some other folks in Europe seeing her a few daysater and I didnt want to spill too many beans.https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dstephfuccio_copenhagen-tivoli-womenleadership-activity-7190645995959914498-PY_I

Thank you, as always, for reading Kelsey!
More writing on reconnection to nature is definitely coming. Would love to know what you’re doing to reconnect.

I also forgot to mention - I’m working through the artists way right now! But I’m finding the morning pages to be the most difficult bit!
