Bye For Now

Taking a break from posting weekly

Every now and then...

...we have to let things go.

My first Substack post was about new beginnings so it is only fitting for my (maybe) last one to be about endings, and the in between.

I love writing and I love sharing information that I hope will be helpful in some small or big way. Having a deadline (I really don’t like that word!) has been keeping me accountable to write once a week (with a few exceptions) which resulted in 34 posts (plus this one) since 6^th July last year.

And while I have learned many things about my approach to and motivation for writing, how I wriggle my way out of writer’s block and how I respond to the inevitable social media worthiness comparison trap, I have decided to take a break from posting regularly.

Creating into the void is hard. As I said in my first post, beginnings I find exciting, it’s the keeping going that is the difficult thing, and ending something is another experience altogether.

Yes, I love writing and sharing and hopefully helping somehow along the way but I am not someone who likes to do things for the sake of doing things. If you’ve been to one of my Pilates classes you know that I’d advise against doing reps for the sake of doing reps. If the technique is going out the window it’s better to stop and take a breather.

And that’s what I am doing here now, for now.

I have wrestled with this decision over the week after not posting last week because I had nothing I was keen to share and I didn’t want to post something for the sake of posting something.

So, if and when a topic lights up for me that I think might be of interest and of good use to you, my dearest readers, I shall happily share it.

A big THANK YOU to you, the lovely human who is reading this, to my 22 subscribers, and a very special mention and a big virtual hug to my one paying subscriber.

Please know that I appreciate you all very much.

Until next time,

Bye for now x
