I appreciate that you need to write for the majority etc so please don't just take my word if it's just me, but I really think what you're writing about/talking about here is important stuff.
I appreciate that! So far I worry it's either making people uncomfortable, because it's a dump of super-personal information. And if that's useful, it's worth it to me to feel this vulnerable after I hit publish! But if these kind of posts flop I can assume people are either feeling cringe or disinterest?
True. I forget that everyone processes in different ways. I'm so fast with decision and need to verbally (or writing) process everything so I'm writing this to sort it out!
I am so happy to have “rediscovered” your writing. I followed your old blog post for years (and even came to two of your workshops: fiddle and the October event) before life pulled me in new directions.
Like you, I am in my 40’s. I cheered you on and agreed with you that hitting this age and not giving a shit about what others think of me is a wonderfully freeing mindset.
I’m currently in my car after having gone for a quick Starbucks run. I own a condo and have a well paying job that I hate. I’m trying so hard to make that change to start my own homestead but, as you know, change is scary.
I am fortunate in that I work from home and can live anywhere I want. The only thing stopping me is me.
I think back to who I was in my 20’s. She was a feisty gal and dove headfirst into things. Part of that was the over confidence of youth coupled with the fact that I had to do what I had to do to get by. She got lost sometime ago. I miss her. She was tough as hell.
Anyway… thank you for sharing your story. It helps.

Maybe it is quietly initiating a thought process… Sometimes I need a lot of time to think about things first before I would ever react.

Hi Jenna,

Also, this was very very kind to say, thank you! Email anytime if I can help. I can at least share mistakes!
I recognize your name! I love seeing names that were a part of the story! Thanks for finding me again!
