After months of delays, my podcasts are finally ready, so it's off to the office today--with 🍪, because I enjoy treating folks there.
This has been a year of many projects failing, flopping, going silent, or changing direction. It's been A Lot. I self-published past work because my industries are floundering and I don't know what comes next. I thought if I had those books out, I could at least walk away if need be.
And... I still don't know what comes next.
But for now: cookies. And podcasts.
Yay, you! I hope everything goes wonderfully with the podcast 😊👍
I'm sorry things have been difficult for you, but I'm a firm believer that things don't work out because the universe has something better planned. You have such a good heart, ML, I have zero doubt you'll get every beautiful thing you've worked hard for (and deserve). 💞
The one thing that *definitely* worked out this year is getting to struggle as a full human being among so many kindred spirits here. Your genuine care and thoughtfulness, and the joy and curiosity you bring to your own life amid challenges, have been a privilege to grow alongside.
Thank you for your presence, your support, your warmth, and your optimism.
May you always feel as buoyed through setback and uncertainty in turn. ❤️
i admire the way you juggle your many activities in such a challenging environment.
as a fellow 🇨🇦 i applaud your skill and your resilience.
may all be well with you and yours.🙏🏻
Thank you, Holon42. I know you move through challenging contexts, too, and I admire the thoughtfulness you share with others out of such hard-won personal insights. Many folks shrink into their personal hurdles; the way you show up for others instead, ever growing in worldly presence, is deeply affirming.
May the journey find you well in turn. 🕊
thank you 🤗
P.S. They passed quality control. :)
Slightly different bake with margarine, alack, but butter keeps wavering between unavailable and costly. We also saw *huge* downshifts in local beer production due to the cost of raw materials and shipping. Club Colombia usually has three varieties but it's down to one everywhere, and my favourite craft brewery seems to have reduced operations to in-house only.
We can *really* feel economic pressures from war and inflation sneaking in.
But still - cookies!
