Congratulations. Thank goodness you've discovered this sooner rater than later! Do it every summer until she decides she'd rather be with her friends. That day will come sooner than later :-)
And now that the annual is less expensive, I can upgrade. Many thanks for that offer.
Oh my goodness... thank you so, so much🙏 Words truly cannot express how grateful I am for your beautiful words🥹
Just like I did for other paid members, I have extended your new subscription by an extra three months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for cheering me on and choosing to support my work during this quiet hiatus, especially when no new essays are going out.
Jiwon: brava! Have a well-earned break and create some wonderful undefinable moments with your daughter. If there's a payment option to buy you a cup of coffee I would like to do that.
Dear Jiwon. I understand completely. I love your writing but I know it takes a lot of time and energy. I am glad you decided to take time off and hope you have a wonderful time this summer! Look forward to whatever you write in the future. 😻
Dear Jiwon, You have made exactly the right decision. Whenever possible, it is good to create some breathing room for yourself. I have always tried to do this in my own career. Routine can rob us of the time needed to reflect deeply and gather extraordinary experiences. I wish you a wonderful summer. I hope you don’t plan every single day down to the last detail, but instead leave some room for spontaneity. Wishing you and your family a wonderful time.
Thanks for this note. As a mom of a teen, I wanted to reflect back that those years from 7 on go really fast! And I agree about the patchwork feel — Im always on a deadline or getting ready for the next work trip. I hope you get to enjoy the northwest! What a stunning abundant part of the world!
Love, love, love this. Enjoy your precious time with your daughter. There is nothing more important or valuable in life. 💛🦋🙏🏾
