Catching up on that to-do list

Kia ora,

I’m catching up from my week away, hence why this week’s email is a little late. But you may have seen an email from me earlier in the week- my latest blog post, Writing a travel memoir can be cathartic. Check it out if you haven’t already, and let me know if it resonates.

I’m also feeling behind on other aspects of my business, namely Instagram. Or rather, I’ve left Instagram, but I haven’t told anyone, and I really need to get on with telling people. I recorded a Reel a couple of weeks ago about why I’m leaving/have left, and I need to post it. So, consider this my way of keeping myself accountable! I’ll post it this week.

Changes to Meta’s content moderation and Mark Zuckerberg’s ~masculine energy~ has prompted this change. I’ll save the details for now, but I explain my thoughts more in the Reel.

The point is, I’m feeling behind. Maybe you are too. Maybe it’s your writing, maybe it’s trips you want to go on (it’s starting to feel like autumn in my part of the world), maybe it’s your reading list (also me). 

But it’s okay! Your work-in-progress isn’t going anywhere. Those trips can still happen. Your reading list is still there. And my Reel – well, it’s coming.

If you’re feeling behind like I am, take care, give yourself some grace, and take a moment to stand in the sun. That’s what I’m doing.

Cheers,

Deborah
