Welcome to Substack, Monica! Been here since January and it radiates that old-school blogging mood here – I love it. Can't wait to read what you create here x
Hi Monica, nice to meet you here. I too just recently started my Substack journey, after being inspired by Sara Tasker's podcast Hashtag Authentic. What brings me here is the dream of being able to share all of myself in one place. Through the flow of writing about my why, I'm reminded just how much the seasons guide my life and the activities I participate in. Summer for gardening, fall for hiking and winding down, winter for going inward, lots of self-reflection and yarn and textile projects (cooking too of course), and then spring getting back outside, hiking, camping, and seed-starting/planting the garden. I used to get down on myself for starting and stopping the different things I find joy in...as if I was 'not finishing something' but in truth...that was just life ebbing and flowing with the seasons and the cycles of the moon. I'm rambling now, but I wanted to say Hi, and I'm looking forward to reading your stack.

Michelle hi lovely! I recognise a fellow OG blogger 💗 Thank you so much! I get that sense too, like a nostalgic hug through the screen isn’t it?! x
