Your Ideas for writing

These are a few ideas and by no means exhaustive. Note that the editor reserves the right, whether to publish or edit any contributions received

  • A brief description of your life particularly in regards to your mental health before Grow, and then after Grow. The benefits you hope to gain long term, or, the benefits you have received from Grow since joining. Try to mention or quote parts of the Grow Journey book or Program that have helped you so far along the way.
  • Write about a Grow group activity or event you attended. Discuss the encouragement or accomplishment that you and others who attended received.
  • Discuss a helpful Grow article or passage that you have found to be particularly meaningful for you
  • Share your artwork such as a drawing or picture that you have created.
  • A poem you have written for comfort or reflection
  • An announcement to other Growers about something that others might be interested in hearing from you about
  • A personal thank you to someone in Grow
  • A friendly Grow gesture or offer to make yourself available for helping anybody who may need a hand, either generally or something specific.eg weed a garden, mow a lawn, trim a hedge, take a meal if sick etc.

“Writing and reading

Decrease our sense of isolation.

They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul.

When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored.

We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again.”

– Anne Lamont, novelist
