Tyece Wilkins of Twenties Unscripted once said, “Your core relies on your outer tribe and your inner scribe.”

And y’all know I live by the Danielle LaPorte mantra, “Find your tribe. Love them hard.”

My tribe keeps me going in part because they keep going — and keep wrting. I try to set aside time at least once a week to scroll through the See Jane Write Facebook group and read the blog posts, articles and poems See Jane Write members are writing.

Here’s a look at some of my favorite pieces my Janes published this month:

Thanks to Chandra Sparks Splond for featuring me on her site in the blog post “Javacia Harris Bowser writes her way to success.”

Alison Moore makes a return to blogging, writing about a recent experience that strengthened her faith.

Stephanie Naman of Auntie Venom continues her mini series, Love Lessons From My Exes with a guest post from a contributor named Susan. One of my favorite pieces of advice from Susan: “Real love is not about how easy it is. It’s about how hard you’re willing to try when things are not easy.”
