The winter break in our daycare ends today. My daughter and I spent the last two weeks together, first at my parents’ place, then at our own. Even though we were sick in the beginning we both had a wonderful time. We spent a lot of time cooking together, explored playgrounds and indoor playrooms, visited goats in our local culture center, bought a potted plant for
I like how reading this newsletter makes me relaxed, makes me focus on taking rest and not feeling guilty when I say no so I can concentrate on my current most important things. It also changed my mind on relationships, to work to keep the relationship good and not putting all my energy into preventing the consequences of a bad breakup.
A gentle reminder that your newsletter doesn't need a post every day/ weekday for it to be a worthwhile project... We will enjoy reading it whether it's 5 times a week, or 3, or more sporadic than that. I follow some people who post extremely irregularly (here, youtube, so on), and I honestly love them for it! :)
Perhaps releasing every day creates some needed structure for you -- but on the other hand, it's also possible that this arbitrary pace is too fast right now.
As someone who has yet to start a family, the most surprising part of your newsletter is how often I get to peek into the future about the ups + downs of parenthood. Your posts are lessons to my perfectionist side that it’s going to have a bad time if it doesn’t learn to accept that it can’t control everything.
I also love reading about your reflections on generational boundaries and scarcity mindset because they resonate with my own experiences and struggles. Your writing reminds me that I’m not alone and is a great example of how impactful writing comes from vulnerability. Just as an example, I also have anxiety that people I know are judging me for focusing on writing instead of more money-focused pursuits right now.
You also have such an elegant writing style! Your posts flow so naturally, and I’m always in awe when the next bit of grandmotherly wisdom effortlessly appears!
As a homeschooling father of 4, i aporeciate a different perspective in parenting/family-life/surviving. Sometimes it normalizes my struggles, sometimes it points towards a new way of doing things
Not just content, the style is very grounded. Pictures are beautiful.
This is way better than a real job :-). Thank you for sharing. I love reading your reflections.
