Live out loud!
The Saturday Spark
Tell us: “Living out loud” has nothing to do with volume but everything to do with being comfortable in your own skin. Do you tend to “whisper” or “give full voice” to your life?
Here’s the latest news regarding my work and this online community. Some content is fully accessible only to patrons (supporting subscribers). Care to sustain The Raft by upgrading your membership? At $5 a month, it costs less than a small bouquet of flowers!

Next week on The Raft . . .
Creatives’ Coffee (Zoom, Wednesday, 4:00-5:30PM Central). A casual conversation group for Rafters who like to “make stuff,” whether for fun or as a profession. Need companionship and support? Creative inspiration? Cross-fertilization of ideas? You’ll find oodles of all this and more at the Coffee. Hop on the Zoom at this link. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter.
Poetry Pick-Me-Up (Zoom, Thursday, 12-1PM Central). A casual weekly gathering for poetry-sharing, celebration, and discussion. Hop on the Zoom at this link. Bring a poem you like to read to the group. Or, just come to listen to poems offered by other Rafters and to participate in informal but wholehearted conversation. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter!

I haven't whispered since my early twenties. I'm happy to shout, and I suspect I shout too loudly for some.
Why whisper?
It will be gone before you know it.
