On my mind It’s Friday. I’m celebrating the end of another week. It’s also National Poetry Month. I’ve been writing daily poems on Instagram as part of a fun 30 days, 30 poem challenge every April. Writing poems quickly and sharing them with the world before they’re truly ready is incredibly scary, but I’ve learned a lot over the years about how the inner critic silences us as we wait for the “perfect words” or the “perfect time.” The truth is, "A poem is never finished, only abandoned." So every day this month, I will abandon my poems before I go to sleep and use the page as opportunity to check in with myself and connect with others. The experience is always a beautiful and unforgettable one. Especially right now, it’s nice to take a break from the news and fill yourself up with some art.
