Absolutely my favourite pieces from last year! Aloneness dancing with togetherness and in between eating this sacred cake of sweet union!

I love hearing that the cake made it's way to you! I would have to say that the Aloneness exploration was one of my favourite to outwork... I'm currently looking at some further explorations that I'd love to bring to the table here and have all readers involved. I loved how engaged and generous everyone was with that particular discovery. x

When I say I need alone time... this was the very piece that brought me to you all those years ago!!!! I remember reading it and my bones sighing with understanding

I felt (and still feel) myself so reflected in your words!

And in a serendipitous moment this weekend, I found The Apricot Memories in a second hand bookstore! I love Substack sooo much but it’s been beautiful to curl up with your words as the summer storm rolls through x

It blesses me more than I can say to have readers (like you Carly) that have followed my writing journey from the very early beginnings, that are still here, cheering me on and finding resonance in the work (still). The camaraderie that is found in the gracious support of people that not only come along for the process but stick around for the evolution and changing tides is hard to articulate, but the gratitude is of largeness. Thank you for being here, it means so much to me XO

So very beautiful, Tess. Making me want to shirk my responsibilities and pull all the dresses from the back of my closet...

I love that you resonated. I hope time opens way for a day of nothing upon nothing that allows for every little bit of something 👗
