I'm still here, but feeling rather rubbish. We took a short holiday to relax from the stress of work and I ended up with an unknown virus (not COVID or one of the other biggies) but it has taken a good week just to get out of bed. Today being the first day I have the strength to sit at my desk. Hopefully, I'll feel up to tackling Chapter 8 soon. I am definitely ready to recover my strength.

Hi Helen. I “heard” a lot of what Julia says in Chapter Seven. I have somehow allowed fear to grasp me by the neck, creating a hole in my Self-esteem and self-confidence. On Substack, I felt completely intimidated. Maybe I thought it was because I have not “set” the account the way I want it to be, maybe it is because I want the approval of the readers, and additionally, want to write like the “best” of them, right away after not having written for thirty years.

The losses in the family both my daughter in 2023 and prior to that in 2022 a huge financial loss due to blind trust in a family member. Too many emotional and mental upheavals, but I am excited of this particular journey of TAW with you and all the colleagues here.

I am looking for us to working together 💕
