I would LOVE to listen to voice overs in YOUR voice. Would make it easier to access what you have to say, it would spread your audience to people who just aren't going to fit that time in looking at a screen, AND we can hear your intonations and the energy and passion you exude ... while we are driving somewhere or folding laundry! I am doing some to get a feel for them for all my subscribers, then going forward, for my paid subscribers only.
I am still digesting the movie. I would like to see it again. Fits in nicely with something I heard yesterday on Jim Kwik's Superbrain Course - 'With great power, comes great responsibility'. Yes, we have all understood that ... but, the inverse is also true AND more powerful: 'With great responsibility, comes great power.'
There is a tremendous capacity/power for instigating and supporting growth and change, when we embrace our own capacity/power to learn, grow and share.
We have the power, individually, to shift the balance of the world by sharing our thoughts. Together, our power is staggering.
It is indeed time to end war and to see the interconnectedness of every human on the planet. Thank you for your contribution, Nona.
"We have the power, individually, to shift the balance of the world by sharing our thoughts". YEeeeeeS!!
Thanks for your suggestion Paige!!
It's a really good one and I have had that on my idea list. Truth be told I'm often posting properly editing my content in an attempt to get it out Sunday morning as it is, but I'm feeling what you're saying and i wholeheartedly agree because it's how I enjoy "reading" so many great books on Audible.
I'm also feeling called to make things more bite sized and digestible going forward as we move into some A Course In Miracles content, but I am getting a new mic -it just needs to be ordered but I will start this week and do it on my laptop for now!! xx
I heard a podcast with a very productive professional writer with a huge Substack following. She said the key for her to be consistently productive and happy with her work, was to avoid burnout. And to do that, she took any ideas of deadlines out of her Substack contributions and stopped giving her subscribers any notion of 'expectation'. She claimed the model we are sold of committing to a regular day and time for routine publishing is bollocks! So, without expectations, she writes when she is inspired, contributes what she feels compelled to, and her people LOVE HER! I am in the same boat. I feel compelled to write some very long, wide-ranging pieces because that is how my mind works, AND I feel there is so much to catch up on, to set the stage for where I am at. A backlog, if you will. I have a friend who is going to transcribe some of my hand written journal entries and/or recorded readings of them. VERY helpful! SO thankful! I know it's hard to keep up as a writer, because the ideas are infinitely flowing, yet the time to type them out and find the right words, so others catch my drift, is finite. Choosing is what to write is hard. So, I let it flow. Sometimes, that means it is a firehose! When it is a trickle ... I am out of alignment. Sometimes it wants to come flowing when I am supposed to be doing other things! And so I keep getting up earlier ... and thinking of you, likely already floating in your hot tub under the stars, up before the sun!
It makes so much sense, I guess there is that little voice in my head that reminds me of the people that message me or that I run into that tell me how much they love to wake up early on Sunday morning and curl up with a coffee and read my Substack before they start their day.
For now I think I will keep on publishing every Sunday for their sake, but for my own I will be open to this solid advice and allow my writing to evolve so that as I get busier with my work I'll manage it as best I can and never feel obligated or pigeonhole myself.
I intend for this substack to evolve with me, to be heartfelt and intelligent, but more digestable and my new goal for my readers to be able to finish them with one coffee (instead of two and a washroom break! lol). As always your voice memos, texts and input here is next level, I appreciate you so much!!
Scott kindly pointed out to me this morning after I published that it’s been 79 years, not 78 🙃
I feel like I have just absorbed a full on University level lecture. So much to absorb! Scopey. Going to see Openheimer tonight. Thanks Nona!
Haha thanks Paige, I'm feeling a pull to make things a bit shorter, lighter and easier to absorb. Curious, what did you think of the movie?

Yes and was it Winston Churchill or Spiderman that said that about power and responsibility? ha. I like your spin even better.
