Pretend Friend
Show them around town.
This week’s Friday Fun is slightly strange (unless you ask a 6-year-old).
Welcome a pretend friend into your life.
This new friend may visit you for an hour, a day, the entire weekend, or even longer—this is entirely up to you! The rules are simple:
Name your friend.
Show your friend around your home, your neighborhood, and even someplace special around town.
Tell your friend some secrets, the juicier the better.
Invent the rest: play games, draw pictures, eat fun food, and have a sleepover (don’t forget to watch a movie, try a new nail polish color, laugh loudly and cry freely, and eat too much popcorn).
That’s it! What would it be like to have the perfect friend visit for a while? Enjoy life with this friend. You cannot do this wrong. They will never tell your secrets or make you feel terrible.
Sweet Antidote is where generosity meets art in conversation. A twice-monthly gathering on Zoom (and also offers a private online space for discussion) for artists who crave depth, honesty, and creative kinship. I, Suzanne, lead these calls, and no two are ever the same!
SuzZeal is free — and will remain free.
Wednesdays belong to The Hermitess Papers — a serialized book, revealed one week at a time.

I would be okay with matching pj's too....while eating popcorn 🍿
