Life updates, new reads, and more
I launched this newsletter many moons ago with a vague idea of what content I would share. A lot has changed since then.
After a decade of writing about my relationships, I ventured into romance writing. I was excited and a little intimidated. As confident as I am, I doubted if I was a good enough writer to foray into this new terrain. I was used to pouring my heart onto a page and, while many of you have enjoyed following along with my dating wins and woes, rehashing my heartbreak didn’t help my healing. It now feels unhealthy to replay old stories and memorialize my pain.
Because I have changed since then.
I am a stronger and much more confident woman. I am more compassionate. I show myself grace and others as well. I love and accept myself. I know what I deserve.
I don’t recognize the me from my old stories. Because that old version of me is long gone.
I don’t regret my writing journey. And I definitely don’t regret the men from my past and the mistakes that I made. It has all led to my becoming the woman that I am today. A woman who recognizes her worth and refuses to settle for less than unconditional, unshakable love.
No matter what I’ve been through, I will never give up on love. I am a hopeless romantic after all.
And although I ain’t booed up (yet!), I do have a long-time friend, Krista, who is now my partner in crime in writing and business.
