Thriving Under Pressure 
Free!
Your word “centred” evoked a feeling of grounded x ascending. Then I read your beautiful post on grounding. Your words lift off the page while planted firmly on the ground. What a feeling! For you, the author, and us, the audience. Thank you for sharing your one word for writing.🍃
Centred
Empowered.
The best feeling! ✏️🎉
Yes, but sometimes it can make you feel vulnerable too. (https://warriorprincesscait.com/2016/10/09/vulnerability/)
But definitely, especially being homebound with severe medical conditions, it’s empowering to know that when I write, people like what I write and I feel validated. I feel empowered by sharing my thoughts, my blog posts, my Mighty articles…. It makes me feel like I’m making a difference and my voice is being heard!
I get how writing brings forth so much emotion. Thank you for sharing your post! I can feel the vulnerability in your words & equally your power. You matter. Your writing matters. You are a voice for so many people in your circumstances.🌹
Connected.

Liberating is the word. Liberating.
I feel it too Sidra. Writing is so liberating!
Genuine
Yes! Just you & a blank page. So true to you.
I feel alive when I write as well. it’s one-tenth as powerful as giving birth but you DO know that you have brought something into this world.
The act of creation (all versions) = ALIVE.
Love it!

Your word makes me smile! 📝😊

Me too!! (Alive and Free = Writing in 2 Words for me.)
No boundaries. No rules. No pressure. No expectations.
Just a blank page. And the divine whispers of the soul.
Heaven.✨
