Welcome to Gently, We Journey: With Liz Newman

This newsletter will be a place for community and connection with essays, poetry, and poetry prompts that explore the topics of mental health, grief, love, family, and faith.

Our stories and our experiences matter so deeply. My hope for this newsletter is that we begin to journey through the uncertain terrain of our everyday lives together. May we learn from one another here. May we share with vulnerability and courage the heartwarming and heartbreaking elements of what makes us human. May we have hands ready to reach out for one another and eyes full of empathy.

May we see one another here. And may we journey gently.

Let’s journey together.

Subscription options

I hope you’ll journey with us. There is a subscription option for everyone:

Free Subscription:

The free subscription will get you the newsletter as well as access to the full archive of my posts and the ability to comment on posts. It’s important to me that most of my content be free, so please share the pieces you resonate with. I’m so happy to have you here.

Paid Subscription:

The paid subscription is $5/month or $50/year. You will get the newsletter, access to all archived posts, the ability to comment on posts, and some special “paid subscriber only” extras (these may include occasional extra poems and poetry/journaling prompts as well as poetry videos. I am looking forward to creating fun content for you as a show of my immense gratitude for your support). If this option interests you, please subscribe here.

**Anyone who subscribes or upgrades to a YEARLY paid subscription is eligible to receive a signed poetry book bundle of BOTH “I Look to the Mourning Sky” and “I Look to the Gentle Rain” as my way of saying thank you so much for your support. 🙏🏼**

Founding Member:

The Founding Member option is a way for readers to pay more than the yearly subscription as a show of support for my work, similar to a donation. (Please let me say thank you in advance to anyone who chooses this option. I am in awe of your generosity. Thank you for believing in my work. It means the world to me.)
