Come with me!
I warmly welcome you to my newsletter, Personal Papers. I’m taking things to heart, and reporting back to you. I’m sending out regular love letters from my imagination and thoughts from inside my heart. Plus an eclectic array of ideas, thoughts and doings for inspiration, fun, and support.

What’s Inside
Watch for notes and essays on nature study, meditation, and personal inner reflections and observations. Plus: the life of the imagination. Also, take a sneak peek into my current magical book project, maybe some audio, video …
As our global environment intensifies, I look for a new vocabulary to decode the personal meaning of all these shifts and changes. Scanning, like a weather reporter, I’m reporting to you from the inside with tips, humour and personal food for thought. (Yes, it could get weird at times.)
Follow along on my Platonic studies with Riffing on Eternity.

I’m Carol Sill, a writer and editor, former educator, and long-time personal media advocate. My interests include Platonism and Sufism, meditation and media study, art and culture. I live on rocky Salt Spring Island in BC, Canada, with the abstract artist James K-M and B, our intrepid beagle. Find me on Twitter and Facebook. Ask questions about my book ATTARS and more HERE.
