A Birthday Acceptance, Reckon Review Column and Camping

It was my birthday on Tuesday, and I was really excited to get an acceptance in the morning from one of my goal lit mags (can’t mention yet as I haven’t gotten permission but when I do I will definitely post about it EVERYWHERE!!). It was so nice to get an acceptance on my birthday (and no rejections - those came the next day). Next year will be the big 5-0, so it’s been a rollercoaster ride of emotions as I wrestle with all of that plus my hormones.

My Reckon Review Wind & Root column came out too - I hope you check it out if you haven’t already. There’s a prompt if that will entice you!! It was a risky one for me to write - no one really wants to admit they failed or suck at something, especially on social media, but here I am.

Finally, I am going camping tomorrow for Japan’s three-day weekend up in the mountains. I am so happy to get in some forest bathing and some campfire chill. Hoping for some early fall colors up there, too.

I hope that you all are having a good week. Sending light and love and creativity!
