Friends, family, neighbors, strangers—I’m hitting pause. Most babies require a lifelong commitment. I have two of those. My newsletter feels like a baby, but I can pause this one.
I’ve sent The Letter, rain or shine, for 126 consecutive weeks. Hot damn! Before I continue, I must sit with my intention. Namely, is it out of desire or obligation? And what is its purpose?
We don’t get near enough unfiltered life these days. I want to be that for us. I want to make you laugh—and cry. I want to share what makes my life easier in hopes of doing the same for you.
Lately, I've struggled to write with the depth I experience IRL; few topics are off limits for a transparent lady like myself, yet many of my journeys as of late are not ready for prime time. They're raw, and I want to explore them further before showing up in your inbox half-hearted. I hope you understand. When I return, because I bet I will, our relationship will be different and better.
Do I sound dramatic? I do. Please know—all is well. I’m well. The kids are well. The cats are well. Drama is not my intention. A breath and pause is.
I appreciate EVERY last one of you for reading my words since I began in October 2021. Your precious eyeballs mean the world to me. I’m grateful beyond measure.
FAR OUT! Yes you should pause. We all need a pause to listen to ourselves and to what’s around us… It’s only then that we should proceed.
In other words, take a break, don’t worry about everybody else, if they follow you and appreciate your offerings, they will come back when you resurface.
If they don’t, they were not worth your time in the first place, but no doubt received a beautiful gift from you of spirit, growth, love and nurturing .
I honor you taking time for yourself and your core being Simone. 💜
I missed this edition and was about to send you a message to check in when I didn’t get your newsletter the past 2 weeks.
Wow, kudos to you for hitting pause! I’m in awe you’ve not missed a week since we started in October 2021 🤯
I desperately needed a break last summer and lately I’ve been feeling pretty fatigued as well. Appreciate you sharing your journey! 💛
