Notes of Worth

I had an idea hit the other day-why not create a bi-weekly curated list of notes on Substack that inspired me or that I wrote.

Writing a note has become a daily practice for me, as it has become a way for me to write all the random things knocking around in my head, but I also get to see other people’s thoughts and ideas. With the big shifts happening in social media, I am seeing an increase in creators here and I love what I am seeing so far!

Without further ado, here is the list-

1. I was inspired to write a post about “Roads that might possess you” based on a note written by

   Hookland
   my favorite Substack account. CLICK HERE to read.

   I discovered Hookland on Twitter two years ago or so through my favorite witch writer Byron Ballard. The first post of theirs I ever read struck me so intensely, I wrote it on pretty paper and I keep in what I consider to be my bible, a collection of William Butler Yeats’ poetry. I have even read it to Momma Tree.

2. This note by

   Dana Portwood
   gave me a much needed dose of hope. Fascism cannot and will not succeed if we continue to educate ourselves. Libraries are bastions of learning and hope in such uncertain times. “My community is scared of what's happening and what is likely to happen, and they intend to go down fighting”

3. Kate Belew
   gave me thigh chills with this Note. I spend a good portion of my days aching for the forest. I live where I live because I am closer to my woods and Momma Tree.

4. Katy
   over at the Anchorist Archives shared this Note about writing everything down as it is happening because the narrative will be changed to suit the people in power.

5. Last, but certainly not least this Note by

   Nichole Pricha
   about treating your Substack as a love letter to yourself and your own personal memoir, struck a chord. Any writing I have done on here has been to document my life and thoughts, I started this Substack 2 years ago with the thought that maybe it was okay to write my story in the bits and pieces it comes to me.

I will wrap this up with an image of a road that most assuredly possesses me-

The trail to Aunt Sarah’s and Momma Tree.

Be well all,

Heather
