Embracing Change: A Journey Through Life's Ups and Downs

A Time of Reflection and Growth

It has been a big couple of weeks. There was a book release, the funeral of a dear friend, and supporting my best friend of 30 years during a hospital appointment. Family lunches, hugs, and tears from readers have filled my days. I have also been working with my wonderful and enthusiastic students.

Now, I find myself in bed, battling a cold. I just need to stop, breathe, and go with the flow. There are classes to be planned, books to be signed and wrapped, and excursions in Japan to be organized. My website also needs an update. I will get there.

One Step at a Time

I am reminded of my own advice: one thing at a time. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with everything happening around me. However, focusing on one task helps me regain control.

My love goes out to those who have read my book and shared their reactions with me. Your responses have been deeply moving. I also want to express my gratitude to those who are waiting on their orders; they are on their way. Thank you to everyone who has supported my bravery and honesty throughout this process.

The Freedom of Letting Go

Letting go of something you have worked on for so long is challenging. Yet, it has also been incredibly freeing for me. It feels like I have reclaimed mental space in my brain. I have cleaned out the dead, nasty cobwebs with love and sincerity.

There is so much I want to do. My mind feels liberated, and now it is just time to rest.

The Importance of Self-Care

In times of stress, self-care becomes essential. It’s easy to forget about our own needs when we are busy helping others. However, taking a moment to care for ourselves can make a significant difference. Whether it’s a warm cup of tea, a good book, or simply resting, these small acts can rejuvenate our spirits.

Looking Ahead

As I look forward, I am excited about what lies ahead. There are new classes to teach, more books to write, and adventures to embark on. Each day brings new opportunities for growth and connection. I am eager to embrace these changes and see where they lead.

Conclusion

Much love to you all,
