Receiving gifts wrapped in good words

This week has been a feast.

A feast of words shared amongst friends.

Savoured and supped with delight.

These are not words just thrown together and slapped on a plate.

But words chosen with care, selected for their particular flavour and nuance, to fit the moment with grace.

Words to listen to and sit with, allowing them to change us from the inside out.

So, thank you for sharing your words.


Seeding beautiful words

is an act of radical hope

that words make worlds.


What words have you received as a gift this week?

Pause. See differently. Re-story ??

This week

A few good words

I am so grateful for the kind words of encouragement about my new podcast, Be More Poet. It still feels like early days, but if you have enjoyed it and can share it more widely, that would be wonderful!

It is settling into a fortnightly rhythm, and episode 4, Softly Walking on the Edge, will be out this Friday. You can find Be More Poet on all the leading podcasting platforms and my website: SueHeatherington.com/BeMorePoet ??

I love this. How wonderful - careful, thoughtful, handpicked words; what could be a better expression of love? This week I received travelling gifts of insight from friends to whom I don’t speak that often, and so the real gift was knowing that our friendships are still strong and real x

It is wonderful to be amongst such thoughtful creativity isn’t it Sue? Nourishment for the soul. I received some important words to hear this week and they are helping me to think through a challenge. Lots of pondering before the next step.

    We have two ears and only one mouth...

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.
