I almost moved it all to Mailer Lite this week. 😂 But I think you’re right. I’m staying for now and just changing the way I’m engaging here. I’m grateful to have this space to connect and so glad you’re my virtual neighbor. 💫

P.S. I typed up a snail mail interview before your sad news. Should I send it on or hold onto it for a bit longer. ✉️🐌

Can you stay but just keep telling me you're off someplace? It keeps me on my toes.

Knowing the UK's postal service I'd say you can safely post it now and perhaps pop a Christmas card in with it. x

No problem. I’ve decided to take a couple weeks off making a decision about newsletter platforms and let my subconscious have a stab at it. 😂

We haven’t packed away Christmas yet (I mean it’s in the garage, but not yet the attic) so I can probably do that. 🎄

At what point does it become a better choice to just wait until next year? 😂

Exactly 😂 I should probably use this framework for prioritising more of my tasks. “Do the kids need feeding or can this wait till next year?” That sort of thing. X

Haha! I need dreamers in my life. It’s a good balance. I can’t put at image, but this says it all: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/43/d3/9a/43d39adeb61f0fa83180fbf011a1f139.jpg

I used to think very much that there was one right way to do everything. It’s why my creative ecosystem framework was such an epiphany!

My theatre job was stage management and I very much just kept track of everything and bossed everyone around. I think I’m becoming more expressive and emotionally aware as I age.

I am somewhere between a ENFP and INFP. And I relate to the rational. I feel I spent so long being taught logic’s value growing up - it took me much longer to learn and value the emotional equally - still learning really!

It's fascinating. Now I'm frantically trying to work out the difference between ENFP and INFP. Am I primarily using the inside world to inform my outside world...i have to feel something move me before i then act...and you have that but also you can act first and let that inform how you feel??? I think i've gone a little dizzy thinking about it lol

Hanging out in the NFP corner with you! ENFP and so happy to be. Feeling all the feels deeply and trying to do something with them through writing. I’m endlessly curious about basically everything. My brain thinks ‘big picture’ all the time, trying to find out how everything is connected and why everything is or happens. It’s my form of rationalisation! Recent years have seen me leaning far more into simple (not so simple) acceptance of the way things are. Not everything needs a reason. And sometimes that’s the most beautiful thing.

I’m glad that you’re here in this space with us ☺️

Thanks Karen. Simple but not easy eh :) It's all really fascinating isn't it! I did wonder if like attracts like...wether a lot of folks reading my stuff were camped in that same feeling space. Looks like there's at least a few of us. I'm glad to be here thank you :)

Thank you! I already changed it once and agonize over it 😊

I know what you mean. How’s it meant to define all of what we’re about?! I think we’re allowed to grow with it or even change it when rhetoric time feels right. ☺️

Balancing these traits🙂.. aur trying ..feel the feeling is more tough but it's very much needed.
