Dear Friend
How are you feeling today?
I’m in a rather giddy mood, as I’ve actually managed to book a holiday for my 50th birthday!! This is HUGE for me, as I have holiday phobia and would rather runaway to West Wales.
I’ll be staying on a tiny Greek island, just an hours ferry ride from Rhodes. My beach abode is perched overlooking the most turquoise blue ocean, far away from the maddening crowds and bustling bars. I’m imagining sunrise and sunset swims, lazy days on the sun lounger with a book and a very large G&T.
I need a favour… my usual go to books, are memoir or self help, so I wonder if you could recommend any books that would compliment my trip to Greece?
I have some other thrilling news to share with you. As we continue to engage and evolve together ‘with ease’, I’m making a few changes to my Substack, that I hope will enhance your reader experience and allow me to serve you even better.
Starting next Monday (22nd July), I’m introducing a new subscription structure that will offer even more value…
Don’t worry if you’d like to remain a free subscriber, you will still receive…
my heartfelt newsletters, but only on a Monday and Friday. They will be packed with therapeutic journaling techniques, prompts and the latest news about my journaling workshops.
you’ll also continue to be part of my warm ‘with ease’ community, where you can engage through comments and notes.
For those who are ready to dive deeper into my world of therapeutic journaling and self-discovery, I’m relaunching my paid subscription option. I’ve been quite hesitant about doing this, but after talking to a few Substack friends, I’ve realised my newsletters are jam packed with useful information, top tips, news items and retreat updates. Which can take me a couple of hours to create each day. So for the price of a hazelnut flat white, you’ll unlock a treasure trove of additional content and experiences.
Paid subscribers will enjoy…
daily newsletters, access to my “Journal with Ease” membership club (a gentle 45 minute guided journaling session every Thursday at 1pm via zoom),
behind the scenes peeks at Ease Retreats,
a FREE “How To Start Journaling” guide.
You’ll also get first dips on new day retreats with best selling authors
and access to my "Sunday WORD:ship” sessions to close down the week.
For my most dedicated journaling enthusiasts, there’s the Founding Subscription tier…
This includes all the above paid subscriber perks, plus some excluding bonuses like a significant discount on my “Rage on a Page” program,
a one to one journaling session with your truly
and access to my VIP invite only, demo day retreats at stunning venues in Wales, when they arise.
I know this shift might not be of interest to you, but I just want to say that I truly appreciate each and every one of you. If you’ve found value in my content, I’d be so grateful if you’d consider “buying me a coffee” by opting for a paid subscription. Your support allows me to continue creating meaningful content and experiences for this community.
Remember, whether you’re a free or paid subscriber, you’re an integral part of the ‘with ease’ family. Here’s to more journaling, more self-discovery and more connection in the days and weeks to come.
PS Full details of the subscription tiers are available on my ABOUT page
Until the next time
Take care and stay safe xx
I’m reading the Greek classics that have been retold from the female’s point of view. They’d be perfect. Circe by Madeline Miller, Pandora by Susan Stokes Chapman. There’s quite a few others out there, too! Enjoy. It looks idyllic.✨
Oh pleeeeease read Ithaca by Claire North - she brings a Greek myth to life beautifully. I read it in a day while on holiday on the island 😍
