Out-of-Office and A Spell for Haters
Last week I wrote about receiving hard feedback and needing to take a break. That post had more engagement than any other that I’ve written this year.
Several readers reached out to say thank you, I see you, or I’ve been there too and it sucks. Your opens, shares, emails and comments helped me through.
Thank you.
As I write this, I’m preparing for a proper break. A true vacation from work commitments. I’m setting my out-of-office and peacing out.
Birth/Werk will be back on Monday, July 12.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a spell from adrienne maree brown. This too got me through.
STOP HATING: A SPELL
let me pull the weed up by the root
and notice the soil that i stand on
is this a necessary vitriol
is this what i choose now to rant on?
is there nothing to build
and nothing to grow
no more to offer up
nothing to know
is there a way now
that i could let go
can i look in the mirror
and love me more
