Oh, the productivity trap. We have all been told that lie. We're trained to constantly strive for something, fill our time with being useful, make progress, work hard. These things are not bad in itself but so often when we do stay still, we feel less worthy for doing so. And that's where the issue lies. We are not less worthy for doing less. Even nature pauses every winter. So are we invited to stay still here and there. Thank you for your words.
There's a lot I could comment on in this beautiful newsletter, and yet the one thing I absolutely MUST say is how excited I am about you playing Breath of the Wild! 🥳
(Also: so happy to hear that you're settling in to your new life, of course. 😊)
Going slowly is a gift that only you can give to yourself, and I'm so happy to see that you are being generous with it. You got this <3 I love the little wins, they are worth celebrating!
So glad to hear you’ve made it safely to your destination and are with your boys again. I hope you can rest physically and mentally and that you find a little peace in this next chapter of life (publishing pun not intended!) X

Dear Vera,
I'm so glad to read you three are safe and sound in Turkey.
It must have been a very hard decision to take and yes, with no doubt, I think you deserve a rest now.
Looking forward reading more of you here.
