i'm planning a pivot away from Substack, and investigating and setting myself up on other platforms, and despite only having a smaller audience here I still find myself worried to lose it. This is exactly what i needed to hear. And i know i will always do what is right for me and my process, but it still feels scary to lose what took me such a long time to grow.

Thank you for reinforcing the importance of retaining the joy in writing. I have written so many articles regarding the "world going to hell in a handbasket" articles, I decided to take a break and will be posting a short 5 min. read on Front Porches tomorrow morning! I hope you will enjoy it, and stay in the zone!

Thank you, was exactly what I needed to read. Resonated so deeply.

'What if doing the authentic thing costs us everything we’ve built?' landed hard.

Now I can confidently say that when I set aside some time to read The Report, I'm actually preparing for delight :) — I always find some kind of joy in them.

The dream you shared and the relief you found after processing the experience resonated a lot with my own way of finding truth in my life. It also reminded of this quote from Martha Beck's book, "The Way of Integrity", which has become a sort of mantra for me:

Know what you really know.

Feel what you really feel.

Say what you really mean.

And do what you really want.

Ahh, thank you Luis!

And love Martha Beck
