Beautifully written. I'm definitely in the creative blocks exist camp. Dandelions turn into clocks eventually where children make wishes. Dandelions aren't weeds, they are desires blowing in the wind. A creative block is a desire holding onto a stem. One day it'll be freed. I'll see if I can join the workshop. I did a numerology course with Meg. Big fan.
So well-put, Claire. I love your suggestion to think of blocks as desires waiting to be freed - what a beautiful addition to this exploration. Thank you!
And would love to see you on Sunday - replay will arrive next week in any case :)
Excellent essay. It's unfortunate how we're conditioned to see things like dandelions (and blocks) negatively when really they hold so much power. It reminds me of my 3-year-old niece who, a few months ago, upon seeing a field of dandelions, said, "This is my life... all these flowers."
This was such an interesting way to put a spin on creative block that I have never really thought of. Thank you!
Ahhh thank you Sophie!
Loved this and couldn't agree more, and what a beautiful way to lead us through this idea. Thank you!
Thanks for reading, Susannah! Appreciate you 🙏🙏🙏

Also just realised i made a grave error in not rhyming dandelion clocks and creative blocks anywhere in this piece :(
Oh dam!! Well now you have.

Loved this, Chelsey. Really beautiful! 💛 Also, I was today years old. 🙈😂
Hahaha oh no! Forget I said it.

Wow. “This is my life... all these flowers.” What a poem. Thank you for reading and thank you for sharing!
I love the idea of Strength as “emotional openness” ✨
I loved this SO much. SO SO MUCH. I also really loved hearing you read it 🧡🧡
