I found my way back :)


Well Reader... I found my way back!

Long story short, a wizard I trusted laid an epic fantasy curse on my health, I wandered into the forest of despair, met an undead fairy, and now I found my way back and know what my quest is! ONWARD!

You can hear the real life version of the whole story here in my latest YouTube video:

What's happening with the Cafe?

The Creative Cafe will be reopening BUT it is going to be less times offered and more sporadically. With a ton of doctors appointments and physical therapy and having to take eating healthy extremely seriously, a lot of my time is dedicated to my health.

With that will come a few changes:

  • I will be taking break time more seriously for my health. Stretching, walking around, and other health conscious activities.
  • Other hosts! I will be getting some fellow Creatives to host other times and dates (this will be more so in the future).
  • No more weekly success steps EVERY week.

Hoping this still works for everyone! I'm excited to get back to the Cafe and my book but also excited to truly respect my health and body first.

I also wanted to take some space to thank everyone for being so patient and compassionate with me! This is a very odd time in my life and having fellow Creatives that are so understanding has been such a boon <3

Thank you all for being so frigging AWESOME!!!


You can expect to receive next week's schedule tomorrow :)

Reader, seems like technology got between us! I've only just realized that this weeks email never sent. But that's okay because I got to have some solo time with the cafe. Today and tomorrow's (Thursday) cafe is the final Creative Cafe session for a while. Going on an indefinite hiatus! I have my surgery on September 30th but have doctor appointments, wrapping up project appointments, physical therapy, and my own birthday on the 29th so I will be working around all of that and won't have any...
