So interesting to read from the point of view of someone who feels full of unrealised potential and secret dreams of writing books and poetry and screenplays. I feel this sense of having so many thoughts and ideas and wanting to create and put them out in the world, and wanting to be seen and acknowledged and admired. But then so many things get in the way of creating, from lack of confidence through to now having two mini humans to care for and the all consuming nature of being a parent. But then I can also see how it can feel on the other side. Really interesting to read your perspective Mari!
Also, wishing you all the best on your adventure into parenthood, it’s a wild, joyful, exhausting and beautiful ride 💖
I’ve returned with a very important Post-Post-Script….Everything I Loved in August as of 8/3: Watching every single Cynthia-Erivo-as-Jesus video from Hollywood Bowl 😭😭😭😭😭😭
As someone slowly and tentatively beginning to put her writing work out in the world, this was a particularly helpful and grounding read - thanks for your thoughtful perspective as always, Mari! :) I was filling out a form about a new creative project and one of the questions was “inspiration?” and I put down on instinct “Mari Andrew, of course!”
So, thanks for just being you! And all the best with your new adventures with Mari Jr!

The best preachers invite, encourage, and challenge. You earned your way to the pulpit long long ago 💗
