Good morning, dear friend and hello from Merton Abbey Mills in Southwest London. I’m walking on the most beautiful day in the world and inviting you to take part in Series 55 on Courage. The series starts next Monday, 10th of March. In this episode, I’ve recorded four journal prompts for you. If you do some free writing as part of your artistic practice, why not use these prompts to inspire you to write something about courage. You might want to share them when we start the series next Monday. Take care of your beautiful mind, yourselves, and each other, and I’ll speak to you then.
