Playing Hide and Seek?

Why the disappearing act?

I have not written a post in over a month. Which, quite frankly, created a fair amount of stress in my universe.

All the “shoulds” showed up. Which I experienced as a huge step back. I thought I had ditched most of those.

The upside is, I caught myself in the act far earlier than I would in the “old days”.

Still, the feeling of having nothing whatsoever to say or talk about, the feeling of having lost my voice, had me wondering if I should just drop Substack and writing all together (this is not the first time I have been in the middle of this)

That didn’t last. Of course. Slowly creeping out of hiding and instead of writing it here too, I am simply linking to the newsletter I sent out to my small list yesterday. Click below to read my explanation for the disappearing act.

If you feel like hearing from me through my regular (yes, I will get back to regular) emails, you can subscribe by clicking through to the newsletter.

This hermiting phase of mine has provided me with some level of assurance. Assurance that I am getting increasingly better at not judging myself for not living up to some imaginary standards and rules about the “shoulds” (how to show up, how often to show up, full speed ahead with no regard for my energy level, etc).

Better at letting life be messy and not at all as clearcut as I would like it to be at all times.

Better at allowing.

I want that for you as well.

Thank you for reading. And thank you for BEing YOU
