“Write a blog post.”

That was the instruction.

“Who, me? What’s that? How would I do that?”

“Well, tell a story.”

“Oh. A story! That I can do.”

For years I’ve been working as a healer. Meeting people. Listening to stories. Telling stories.

I have stories!

“A story about what?”

“A story about where you are.”

Ooooh, that’s a good story.

Because, right now, I find myself on the threshold of a brave new world.

About to republish my first novel, The Bridge Of Now, I am marvelling at the gifts my Scribe Hive friends have brought into my life. We met on a writing program on Zoom, during the pandemic when we were all locked away with laptops and dreams and stories.

After the program finished we stayed together, zooming twice a week, supporting each other, laughing and crying together, forming an unbreakable bond of friendship and love. Telling stories.

This Hive is a bustling place, alive with storytellers, all of us Queen Bees in our own right. After my novel published in September 2021, I wrote a 6-module course around the concepts of the book and I ran it ‘Live’ over zoom for 6 weeks in 2022. My Scribe Hive sister-bees buzzed up with their usual enthusiasm and encouragement. And now I’m well and truly out of the closet. I have professionally recorded this program of mine and launched it to the world. Could I have done this without the sanctity of the Hive space and integrity of these women who zoomed into my life? Nope.

A brave new world indeed.

I’m Alvagh Cronin and I am thrilled to meet you.
