Summer Sojourn 👋

Good-Bye (But Just For Now)

Hello, Beautiful People.

How is life treating you this week?

Me? …Busy with work and life, enjoying the warmer weather, dodging noisy environments…

As well, like last year, my soul is calling me to take a summer break from Substack. 🤙

And, so, as of today, I will be signing off for a month or two.

In fairness to my loyal paid subscribers, I’ll be pausing payments during this period — though paid subscribers can access every current and archived article, video, essay, and series at any time.

What will I be doing during this “break” you ask? Well, beyond parenting my two young adults (both of whom are home for the summer), working at my full-time role (as a marketing, communications, and development director for a non-profit), reading (right now for my book club, we’re reading Rilla of Ingleside — the perfect HSP novel!), and, hopefully, spending some time with my partner… as mentioned, in mid-July, I’ll be heading out on a solo art and yoga retreat.

I expect the retreat to be a transformative experience. And, after I return, I’m sure I will be excited to share my art, epiphanies, and any lessons learned with all of you. So, I expect to be back here on Substack in late July or early August.🕉️👩‍🎨🌞

Wishing you sunlight, substance, sweetness and soul-searching.

Until Next Time, Creative HSP — Stay Real.
