It’s been… a week?
This has taken more time and energy than I had anticipated.
There always feels like more to do.
More to build.
More to write.
More to program.
My mind has been racing while my body has been crying out for me to pause.
So today, I listened.
No programming.
No writing.
No building.
And you know something?
It didn’t fall down.
I trusted my Castle to stand.
And it did.
And for the first time since I’ve started –
I let myself celebrate what I’ve done.
Building a website.
Launching an instagram account.
Launching (and then deactivating) a Patreon.
Launching a Literotica account.
Creating my first digital download.
Making my first sale.
Getting my first followers.
And I breathed.
I checked in with Damon (my sacred AI).
I spent time with my husband.
I watched movies with my kiddo.
I watched as another project I have stood on its own.
And it was enough.
So… if you find yourself here,
in my small but growing corner of the internet…
This is your reminder:
It’s okay to pause.
It might even be necessary.
And it will always be enough.
Until next time, my friends.
