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! 💛

It really is you, and not us! We’re ready and waiting to hear from you. You inspire and educate us! But all good teachers need to take a break for inward speculation (that might not be the right word) so whenever you’re ready to share, we’ll be here :)

Yes, inward inquiry. Inward time. Thank you for your note, Evonne. I trust I’ll be back in time. ❤️

Way to go!!!! Over two years is a feat only for those skilled with the pen. Love you for making me laugh and cry over that time. And for all those times I had to stop reading to dissect what makes you so damn witty. I will update you when I have the answer. Cheers!

^ oh also I love you just because too

The end of an era (but maybe not the end).
