Launch of 'Jane's Tinking' Monday Series

During the pandemic lockdowns, I used to create a Daily Balm of some words and an accompanying picture, which I shared with my subscribers. I hoped to offer comfort and support as we found ourselves dealing with situations both strange and unsettling. Life was unrecognisable for many, yet we found ourselves able to adjust and adapt as we did our best to get through it.

After us hitting sheet ice from Tim’s cancer diagnosis, a few months have passed, and Tim is receiving treatment. We have continued to weave, where and when we can, with the activities that centre and ground us. For me, one of those is writing, and I had the idea for new posts, behind a paywall here on Substack, called ‘Jane’s Tinking’.

‘Jane’s Tinking’ posts will land every Monday (in your Inbox or on the Substack app.), with words, observations, a story or two, hopefully laced with humour and based on life’s absurdities.

‘Tinking’ is a wonderful knitting term. To ‘tink’ is ‘knit’ spelt backwards, and it relates to a knitter taking their garment back stitch by stitch, and then re-knitting it in a new pattern. Every time we adjust, adapt and pivot in life, we are ‘tinking’.

‘Jane’s Tinking’ will run alongside my usual Friday post, which will always be free, as I am mindful of how tight money is for all of us. For ‘Jane’s Tinking’ I am offering an introductory discount of £0.98p per monthly subscription, £9.80 for an annual subscription. If you wish to sign up at this rate, then I will run the discount for the life of my Substack.

I am gifting a ‘Jane’s Tinking’ subscription to my existing subscribers as a heartfelt thank you for your loyalty and support. Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time if this is not for you, just as you can from my Friday post.

As always, I appreciate your support, thoughtfulness and encouragement, and it is always lovely to hear from you.

Love, Jane 🩷
