Welcome to the season of sunshine,
This is Lucy Bellwood, back again to tell you about the latest prompt for The Right Number.
Last weekend I participated in the 33rd annual Ojai Pride Walk, and felt moved that morning to reflect on some things I’m proud of having learned about myself. Even as we’ve slipped into July, with its attendant displays of unnerving nationalism (for Americans) and long days of baking heat (for most of us on the West Coast and, I’m sure, other parts of the Northern Hemisphere), I’m still holding the feeling of acceptance and celebration I experienced in the month of June.
This prompt is about bringing that feeling to our own self-knowledge. If you feel stuck on an answer, consider your understanding of yourself at 11. What’s changed? How have you fleshed out the care and keeping document of your own heart in the time since then? Did this knowledge come easily to you? (It rarely does.)
You can dial 1-503-673-6267 to hear the prompt and (if you'd like) record a response.
Keep walking tall,
Lucy
