A Daily Dose of Art: Writing Creativity and Soul by Sue Monk Kidd
Conversations about belonging are always conversations about the soul. And the new book Writing Creativity and Soul by Sue Monk Kidd invites us into such conversations.
For those of us who are writers, our sense of belonging isn’t just about claiming a seat at the table. It’s about recognizing our true identities, honoring our creativity, discovering what feels like ours to write, and trusting that we are sustained through every season of doubt and discovery.
Belonging to ourselves and our writing means listening for where feelings of lack exist and letting others show us glimpses of how others see us and receive our words.
Kidd’s book includes themes of inclusion, female empowerment, spiritual growth, and the common heart—a shared place where meaning resides and where the work we do helps others feel less alone in this world.
Grateful for this new book at the intersection of creativity and soul.
May we all know we belong. May writing help us belong.
