When the pandemic started I was 38 years old. I turned 39 that first summer, and reveled in the strangeness that we have all experienced at least once now: the pandemic birthday. It wasn’t so bad that first time around. But the pandemic is still happening, and this summer I turned 40. And I’m gonna be honest: it kinda pissed me off.
As a journalist who’s always been an employee the podcast was really interesting. On the paid subscriber front, personally I’ve signed up to support your writing rather than access paid material (though it WAS not being able to access something that made me start paying!) The discount then tipped me into signing up. Thanks.
This hits deep on so many levels. That last sentence is stunning. This also resonates well with what many of us are navigating in our work and careers.
Certainly one I will bookmark and reference for the seasons in my life still to come.
Happy 40th Leah! :) Cheers to a new season sprouting in front of us... I wonder what it will grow up to be. I'm always happy to see a new post from you in my inbox! Even though they are not always... cheerful, I know they will always be soulful and authentic! :) Randomly, I'm self-publishing a book coming out in two days. It's called Soulwork. I'd love to give you a free copy as I've enjoyed so much of your work for free (Bundyville, your many articles, etc.). I know you are busy though - and it may not be something you're interested in. Still you have given us so much of yourself, I can't help but want to give back a piece of myself (although I realize that sounds awkward and weird, LOL). No worries either way - and as always - much love for you on your journey!

Beautiful, as usual!
