Hey Friends,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I have found myself at a little bit of a loss these last few weeks, feeling dense with grief for everything that is happening in the world. Usually, the emotion I feel at any injustice or tragedy in the world is anger and I find I can channel that into my work. This time I have bypassed anger straight to grief due to the magnitude of what is happening and I have found it more difficult to find the words I need.

I had a feeling I was supposed to do something different rather than offer another opinion. Grief, it appears, is a more truthful place. I felt more was being asked of me in this moment; a deep sense of being called to offer a better response. To pause and look deeper. So I decided to do what I would advise others to do when seeking clarity and took myself on a long walk in nature last Friday. I brought the question what would the leader in me do? along on the walk with me, trusting the time and silence until the answer arose. When I created the space needed, it became obvious to me; she would write about peace.

Bear with me while I gather my thoughts on what I have to say about this. I hope to publish something in the coming weeks.

Until next month,

Fiona x
