SUBMISSION CALL
These are fraught times. Share positive energy and help people achieve peace of mind and heart. What brings you joy? How do you feed the holy or sacred in your life or community? How do you nurture love and kindness? What is it like to be human in this world? How and why do we suffer? How and why do we grieve? How do we heal? How do we honor nature? Others? Ourselves? The topic is broad and nuanced. However, please read these guidelines and the post with other details about submitting.
Before you submit, please read this post:
