This: "I write on Substack because it helps me to hold myself accountable by publishing publicly as opposed to keeping my words hidden in my journal (or worse; in my head.)" Thank ypu!

It’s such a beautiful creative outlet and connecting with so many heart-led individuals is more than what I wished for! ✨

There are so many reasons - but ultimately it’s because I can, and I’ve finally given myself permission to do it and see where it leads. Particularly resonate with an accountability and a feeling of if not now, when-ness. Thank you for the reminder of the whys 💚

I love how we’re creating an archive of our thoughts and our own permission slips, I love how each piece feels like an upgrade in my consciousness and freedom 💜

Yes you’re so right about that!! It becomes a traceable record of our expansion and development 🥰 proof that we’re indeed showing to for ourselves even when we forget that we do 😍

I write because before creating a newsletter I never thought I could. Now I do and I can. I have no idea of the destination. I’m very much enjoying the ride.

A gentle reminder to check in with my ‘why’. Greatly welcomed. Thank you.

Thank you for a great prompt. After over 350 posts here, it's time to rethink why I'm here.

Thanks Joyce! It’s always a good idea to take stock from time to time to be clear on where we’re going and why 💕

"I write on Substack because I loathe the idea of becoming a “what if” person. I want to be a “oh, I did that shit and well…." type of person."

THIS all the way (plus the accountability) - even if after the "well..." comes "that didn't work out..."

Happy Substack anniversary!
