I loved this!

"It’s up to us to make promises to ourselves and our writing—and making good on our intentions. Showing up doesn’t have to mean every day, or even every week. Showing up can be whatever works for you, as long as you stick with the promise you make and stay true to yourself. It’s our job to simply show up again and again. And again. And again."

The idea that commiting to simply showing up will make the difference is so so important in life

Yes! Showing up is the hardest part imo 😮‍💨 I so appreciated when Cheryl pointed out in the workshop that showing up is super personal, and it can look different to everyone 🤍 I needed this reminder now, even though I wrote this post! 😂 tysm for reading and sharing 🥹🫶🏼

Love this for so many reasons 🩷 I laughed out loud at “sometimes you just wanna write content for the girlies and not dive into the depths of your soul, ya know?”

I also adore the idea of humble persistence and will be adopting asap! I can’t wait to read your idea some day 🩷🩷🩷
