I so appreciate your words and thoughts, Reema, as I, too, experience the challenge of posting and reading/interacting in the way that I intend and hope. I simply dropped off for a while and was just writing for a post on LI that there is a sense of overwhelm even while so much goodness. So I cheer you on and look forward to catching up on your posts I have yet to get back to!

Thanks Dawn! I'm curious how did people respond to your LI post. I am sort of seeing the many unread newsletters like the many books I got piled up. I am remembering a Japanese word that describes the latter phenomenon: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44981013

I echo Dawn’s comments Reema. It’s sounds like we’re all feeling a similar way. I too have been unable to keep up and engage with all the wonderful writing that I have subscribed to. Maybe the trick is to have some dedicated time to do it, as you plan to. 🙏

Thanks Jane. Crossing my fingers that it will do the trick. One of my readers mentioned being drawn to the idea of a monthly post instead as they want to more thoughtfully engage with the questions I ask. Another reader prefers my weekly schedule. I can't please everyone so let's see how a biweekly schedule goes until my holidays before deciding how to proceed afterwards.
