I loved Year of Yes. I found it in New Orleans in one of those little library boxes you see on a street corner, and felt like it was left there for me. So inspiring.
Year of Yes was one of my favorite non-fiction reads when I was in a phase of my life where I knew I wanted and needed a change but was either unsure what was next or not yet courageous enough to go after it. I loved "I grieved a past I no longer fit into, while fearing a future I felt ill-quipped for. " it immediately brought up memories from that time.. or those times*, rather. And now I must journal about them.
I’m humbled my words pointed you to your journal 🥺 TYoY really is a great book for transitions. I’ve rebought it three times since I keep giving it away.
i’ve been saving this post to enjoy when i had more space and i’m in awe! love the Capricorn badness, the way you held our hand through the density of the chapter you lived through without the fullness of details and i love the love you have for your liberation. glad i read this❤️❤️
Treasure Beach on the south coast. It’s my other home - I’ve been 6 times now, sometimes with my 10-year-old in tow. It’s a haven for writers and creatives. Look up the Calabash Literary Festival aka heaven! I’ll be there for the next edition - May 2025.

Serendipity at its finest.

Thanks so much, Amara. This means a whole lot. Some things are to sacred for the interwebs, ya know? I’m glad the emotion translated though ♥️
Jamaica Love 🇯🇲❤️! You capture it so beautifully. And yes - Year of Yes is a gem!
Thank you! I can’t wait to go back, my husband has never been so it’s rather high on our to visit list. What’s some of your fav places to visit in JA?
