BRAVE SPACE has a website!
For years I’ve been meaning to make a website. Internal roadblocks stopped me every time. Who am I, and why should I have a website? Those sorts of questions creep in when we’re not paying attention.
It wasn’t until I was at AROHO’s Global Summer Camp listening to Sun Cooper (https://www.sunliterary.com) talk about writers she wanted to work with - she said, “we want women who want to be found.” She was telling us to get a website! To be findable! And finally it clicked!
Of course I want to be found! I want to get women’s writing into the world, and I want to be able to support all of us in our struggles to get our words onto the pages of books and journals and other websites. So I need to be found.
From there it was easy to finish the website, or at least finish it enough to start blogging! And being! And BraveSpace.online was born.
Since I’ve been offering Brave Space sessions (since last December 2019) through word-of-mouth and by putting my info in different chats in different meetings, little by little Brave Space is growing. I now serve an international community of writers!
The best way to over-ride self-doubt is to connect to something bigger than self. So I thank all of you. Because without you, I would be stuck in the ego of my isolated self. Once I think of my writing as serving the women and girls who come after me, once I think of offering Brave Space to all women, including trans/gnc and nonbinary people, I should and I can, and so can you.
