It's good to hear that you are finding a new rhythm after a challenging time. The things you shared that have helped you to manage your time and feel more at ease are tips that I found helpful. Summer was rather chaotic and my emotions were all over the place. I'm enjoying settling into a more structured and less busy autumn.

It sounds like a lot of us really struggled this summer! I'm sorry to hear you had a hard time, and I hope autumn brings you more peace and plenty of joy! I'm so glad my tips were helpful. I've really been enjoying listening to and watching inspirational lifestyle kind of videos lately and getting ideas to try out to make my days flow better.

I enjoyed this catch up on your life🤍the frantic pace of keeping up with social media is something I struggle with immensely, and I really appreciate your honesty about your experience with it lately. Selfishly, it made me feel less alone. I’m glad you’re experiencing some quieter days, and I look forward to your next newsletter.

You are definitely not alone! Social media does not make it easy if you want to take days off, or post something that's not "popular" or a little longer. I found for me, the work just wasn't worth the pay off. I need to be able to hear myself think, and social media has the unfortunate ability of taking that away from me if I spend too much time there.

This writing kept me company while I was doing some work (I listened to the audio feature and loved it, you have a great voice)! I'm very much looking forward to your next newsletter, and seeing what this project you've been working on is all about! Always nice to hear what's been going on in your life. Good to hear that you're finding some balance after what has indeed been a hectic year.

Sending lots of love your way my friend! Keep moving forward, and may the muse be by your side always.

Thank you so much, Alex! It was fun to try something different and learn a bit about recording and audio editing...and I'm glad I was able to keep you company though you're now far away! I hope your work is going well, and wishing you the best when it comes to your own writing, too.

I relate to everything in this newsletter on a deep level. I’ve been mostly off social media for a while now, and it’s amazing how that one change can make life feel quieter, slower, and less stressful.

I hope we can both continue to find peace in 2024, Happy New Year, Jennie! ♥️
