For me, this essay hit just where it was supposed to hit. I’ve been carrying the responsibility for my children”s happiness, safety, and success even though they are now adults. I’ve been rearranging, even limiting my life to accommodate that. Wow, just wow.
That line—“rearranging, even limiting my life to accommodate that”—whew, I felt that . It’s wild how long we keep carrying what was never ours to hold forever. You’re not alone. And the fact that you see it now? Most Ecellent!.
Love this, I am retiring in 10 weeks, then moving in with my daughter in the house we bought 7 years ago. One of the first thing on my list after that, is to return to my maiden name. I never thought about it, until recently, and I decided, if I am changing what I do, and where I live, and stepping into myself, I should be me in name as well! Glad to hear someone else had a similar idea! Lol💕
I’m not sure how to (1) access content (2) change my commenting name (3) obtain the 20% off as I just signed up and the rate did not reflect the subscription reduction
1. Please go to chat/ DM. You should have paid a total of $68. after the 20% off is deducted. you can either cancel tht and try again or I can send you the difference. Also in order to send you the Breakthrough guide I have to have your email address- that is why I asked you to go to the DM's so you can send it to me privately. Once I have your email address, I will send you the Breakthrough Guide. I have no idea why they did not process the discount, but I will reach out to Substack to find out why. It is unfortunate you had this experience
About what your father said about naps… What if a nap is an essential resting point, a separation between one series of tasks and a completely different mindset? What if going into that multidimensional void of sleep is the way your soul refreshes itself what if not taking a nap is another symptom of slavery to productivity? I love naps. I am a better person for these times when I allow myself to check out and often to go deeper inward during the twilight phase before and after sleep. I blow a raspberry at your father’s statement.
If I am a paid subscriber does that include the Monirose community? Is there an automatic subscriber renewal or do I get a reminder of when I need to renew?

Yes, it feels like things are starting to happen. Thank you

I had Substack refund the entire amount. It was a snapfoo in the system. You can now try again, if you'd like.

Let me get to the bottom of this.
