There’s a saying in Scandinavian culture, where winter days are sunless and icy– “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” In an effort to clothe ourselves against a season of what is sure to feel like “bad weather,” the Voice presents “No bad weather: Finding joy in a COVID winter.” With topics ranging from reading the tarot and digging up local history to baking bread and cold-weather sports, we hope you’ll find something to warm you up while you keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter.

Let’s be honest: we’ve got a lot on our minds. Writing can help us take a mental load off and has tons of great brain benefits too. Write something down this week to help stave off the end-of-winter blues.

You can make anything by writing. – C.S. Lewis

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

– Mary Oliver

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know. – Ernest Hemingway
