I've always characterised us as "creative" people. But reading some of the things you write to me, I notice that sometimes we don't feel very creative at all.
We spend our lives copying things that inspire us and wish we were more "genuinely" creative, or we worry that we're not as creative as that person over there.
What if your big dirty secret is that you don't actually feel like you're properly, really, actually creative at all?

Please don't send parcels to Paris - import fees are expensive! You are far too generous. But if you really want to send something larger, or you're in the UK like me, I also have an address here:

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who has sent something to me. It is deeply valuable to read your words in your own handwriting and hold them in my hands. It helps me to connect to who you really are, and what you really need from me. I read, enjoy and treasure every one. Thank you.
