Good for you Katie! Well deserved and yes, it's blazing, stinking hot. July is the "slow" month of the summer anyway. Get some rest, peruse trees, or simply do nothing. Take swims and eat hot dogs with chili sauce. Enjoy life. And I know it will be hard, but try not to think ahead about what you're going to write about. Just go and be. Happy time off, I wish you rest and peace
Have a wonderful time off! I hope you'll be able to leave all angsty introspection behind, and that when you return you will have only pleasant reflections to write for us. 🌹 Too much? 😁
Enjoy the break! This essay reminded me of this woman on Tiktok who talks about compassionate productivity. You might enjoy this too! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hQnB3r/
You may not call this an essay, Katie, but it certainly resonates with me, as well as many others among your readers. Thank you, and do find a whole bunch o’ joy during your break.♥️

I love this challenge. Will do! ❤️
Thank you for this reminder that we can give ourselves permission to just *be*. Hope you can rest and restore.
Thank you, Emily!
can I please just hit "restack" on this post but say "Just substitute my own newsletter title." Enjoy your slight reprieve!
Permission granted. And thank you!!

Aw, this is lovely! Thanks for sharing.
The summer pause...I expect to last until December.
Now that's commitment!
