It's good to take a pause and think things through. I *almost* wrote I was taking a pause on my Substack newsletter, too. We're always thinking alike! I hope you feel better soon and get the clarity you need.

Hey Shlee, no matter what happens I'm still reading and staying engaged, just stepping back from writing until I get these challenges corrected. So keep writing, shiny object syndrome never goes far away. 🌹

Oh Patti ~ I understand the need to refresh. Just don't leave Michigan without letting us know. I've been hoping to meet you up there sometime when I'm visiting my daughter. OK? Soak in some sunshine; renew your Soul with small blessings and then come back to us. {{Hugs}} It'll Be OK. xoxo

Hi Jan, I'll let you know if that comes about anytime soon... in the meanwhile there is nothing saying I can't make a little rendezvous down to Ohio -- plenty to explore in the Buckeye state. And seeing you would a be a definite highlight, like getting that dose of Midwest sunshine you mentioned!
