Life Is In Love With Me
Welcome to the ‘Life Is In Love With Me’ newsletter, a landing place for travel memories and life’s love stories.
I am Amara, a poet, essayist, travel and wellness writer, author and nomad. I’m so glad that you’ve arrived here.
I like to think of this newsletter as a refuge for the secretly, openly and drastically soft-hearted. The mantra that has become this space came to me while solo travelling and affirming love while I felt far from it. It has become a deep reminder of possibility, of vulnerable commitment, of ease as an absolute birthright, and of the power of the word, mine and yours. It has also reminded me of the service of love, of its willingness to remind us to accept that it is there, waiting to be offered and received wherever we find ourselves. These essays examine what I have witnessed and held in heart and mind so far. I write so that we can all fall back in love with life and be emboldened to declare it each day.

Why become a paid subscriber?
The Life Is In Love With Me newsletter remains accessible to all, without any paywall. I’m thankful for readers who see my intentional offering and feel inspired to financially support it. It truly is as a love offering. I believe in loving exchange, I believe in being radically rested and never burnt out and I believe writers’ offerings are always enough. I based the exchange on this framework of generosity repaying generosity.
As a thank you, paid subscribers will receive a gift of 111 daily affirmations on love upon subscription, a personal letter from me, and my gratitude for supporting independent writing and this labour of love. If you are unable to support with a paid subscription or donation, I still deeply appreciate you being here and engaging in this newsletter.
