Hi Jane. First, the most important thing:

Happy Birthday!!

I love your substack for so many reasons- and today it’s like a present you give us on YOUR birthday.

Thanks for the gift!

I was busy painting in my studio and decided that instead of reading I would listen to today’s entry with Jillian Hess.

(how great to use the audio feature if my hands and eyes are busy with something else - a nice way to not miss your newsletter)

I enjoyed so much hearing about Virginia Wolf’s notebook - all the many details!

I love that Jillian hunts and excavates for this gold. I’ll have to subscribe to her substack.

(I did)

I am not a journal keeper or notebook maker.

I am a list-maker and a Post-it note stacker.

However, I still related so much.

It had me smiling to hear how similar what Jillian does (and Virginia Wolf did) in notebooks is to how I approach making a painting.

It caused me to look at my painting in a way I hadn’t before. Nifty!
