I really enjoy Barbara KIngsolver, found her through Flight Behaviour and have been reading her ever since. When you mentioned her in the context of mindful writing I felt I knew exactly what you meant. Books that come to mind, with a similar feeling: A man called Ove, by Fredrik Backmand, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, by Gail Honeyman, Olive Kitteridge, by Elizabeth Strout and The Overstory, by Richard Powers.
This is so true Amanda - words have power! So many people do write things that cause of fuel harm or disharmony, often for personal gain. By being mindful we can really choose what we want to put into the world. 🙏🏻
So true, Amanda. I’m super-grateful for the gift of your Year of Mindful Writing, especially since reconnecting with Moon Child recently, following five months of mindful resting (aha!) and feeling the love and a deep desire to finish the work we began💙

Thank you for these recommendations. I’ve only read Olive Kitteridge, which I loved. Ah Flight Behaviour. I think I need to re-read it now.
Agree, Sara, having loved three of them. Will check out The Overstory, too.

I’m so glad you’re getting back to it. We all want to know what happens!
Will keep you posted🌺
Bringing awareness to any activity makes it that much more intimate and meaningful.
Yep!
