Hello friends,
Because Iโm pretty sure not all of you see my Substack Notes, I wanted to send a quick note here, too.
Some of you may even remember this magical retreat center in the middle of the forest.
A few years ago, I tried to record this video.
Different business name.
Same heart. Same purpose.
It took three takes to get it out.
The first two times, I stumbled over my words. Completely flubbed what I was trying to say.
The third timeโฆ a bee flew straight in front of me.
(Which honestly feels symbolic now.)
Itโs a little longer than most things we watch these days. But the message underneath it still feels true:
Donโt give up.
Not when you trip over your own sentences. Not when something unexpected flies into the frame. Not when it takes more tries than you imagined.
Sometimes the bloopers are part of the becoming. ๐
I needed this message today.
Maybe you do too.
If you feel moved, Iโd be grateful if you like this post with a โค๏ธ, share a thought in the comments, buy me a coffee, or pass it along to someone who might enjoy a pause. Each small gesture helps this quiet space reach others who may need it.



Nailed it in the end Kathy!!!
