If you’re new here, hi, I’m Suleika.
I don’t consider myself an expert in many things, but isolation is something I know well.
While in treatment for leukemia, I spent a large part of my twenties confined to a bed. Unable to travel, eat out, see friends, take a walk. A life that many of us are experiencing right now.
There was one thing I did every day with my friends and family during that time that kept me grounded, hopeful, and connected to those around me.
Each of us did a small creative act, every day, for a hundred days. We called it the Hundred Day Project.
For me, periods of turmoil have also been invitations to deepen my creative practice and experiment with what’s possible.
I invite you to join me now in this new iteration: a free weekly creativity project called The Isolation Journals.
Sign up with your email address, and every Sunday morning at 5:00am ET, you’ll receive an original journaling prompt.
Past prompt contributors include: Ann Patchett, Ayodele Casel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Esmé Weijun Wang, Jen Pastiloff, Jon Batiste, Kiese Laymon, Lou Sullivan & Alexa Wilding, Mari Andrew, Maggie Rogers, Marie Howe, Mavis Staples, Melissa Febos, Nora McInerney, Priya Parker, Rachel Cargle, Ruthie Lindsey, Stephanie Danler, and more.
