I loved this, Elizabeth! This post found me right when I needed it. I love the grace, I love the epiphanies, I love the birthday gift idea… but HOW, amongst all you’ve been busy with, did you write such a well organized and entertaining piece of writing? Does this part just come so naturally for you that it doesn’t take too long to create? I’m still in the phase of writing where I need every bit of bandwidth I have to pull a piece together— a pursuit I am more than willing to do because I love it so much, but it’s still so hard to pull off as a SAHM. 😕
Thank you so much for the kind words! How I do it: I start 42 essay and reported newsletter drafts, and publish none of them. A month passes. I've finished and posted absolutely nothing. THEN. Inspiration strikes and I feverishly write and ship an essay with 7 typos!! (Essay writing does come fairly naturally to me, but I also have been doing it for a billion years with the guidance of extremely talented editors.) Finally, I get a comment like yours that keeps me going. You've got this!
You are so extremely uplifting! I totally appreciate the specificity and your encouragement! Sharing how you make this happen helps me continue wanting to dig in and love the process! Thank you so much!!
