Good Morning 2024

My swooning account just came up for renewal… and I contemplated putting it to rest. Why keep it when I have not blogged, posted, written in over a year?

The truth is, swooning became a chore, one more thing on my to do list. It became social pressure, people asking when my next post would be. It became embarrassing, as much as I am an open book, I am actually a pretty introverted person. It felt a little weird that people in the supermarket knew who I was. The icing on the cake was when it became difficult to post to social media, in the end…technology difficulties killed swooning.

My business is crazy super slow in January. I organize and put away the previous Christmas; I get the upcoming next few months of birthday madness in order; I do the taxes; I worry that I will never work again; I clean my studio; I happily organize and coordinate an upcoming wedding for my son and his spectacular fiance; and this year, this year I will begin swooning again… but this year, I will do it for me….no pressure, no looking at stats, no worries if technology gets in the way. I will write to write and if anyone sees my posts I hope you enjoy…or feel seen…or not so alone.

Happy 2024. May it be a year where we all work on treating ourselves well.
