Good luck with the deadline Lia. Glad your choosing to prioritise your well-being and not stretch you’re self to thin! A good reminder for us all to do the same 😊
Thank you for keeping the Sunday chat going though. It really is so lovely to see everyone’s photos. 🥰
By the time you’re back we should be in proper spring 🌸
You are doing a fabulous job! I’m so glad that you’re setting a healthy boundary to keep the work human-sized and realistic. May your writing sabbatical be a fruitful time-- productive, focused and peaceful. ✨🌿✨
I had been thinking you were fitting a lot in and having a cold last week (I sympathise as I had one too but I had the luxury of time). All the best for the deadline and look forward to your posts when you are ready to rejoin us.
Wisdom and honesty Lia 🥰 it’s such a joy to do the weekly round up but I’m sure we’ll all be recording things still, just keeping it to ourselves. Everyone knows what it’s like to have a deadline! Best of luck and see you the other side x
Totally get that, I think we all need to be more open about the need to protect our energy. It’s a good reminder to me not to stretch myself too thin and take on too much.
Good luck with the deadline and it’s really good to read that you’re being realistic about your time and energy--so often we’re encouraged to do it all 🙄 See you on the other side!
Sending you all the best as you finish your deadline. I just found this sub yesterday, and I truly look forward to your return. I look forward to the Sunday chat, to see what that's all about. Seems like a lovely community.
Thanks for reminding us that rest is part of growth.
I think that is perfectly in keeping with the spirit of what you have created here, Lia. As well as being more aware of our surroundings throughout the year, it is essential to be aware of what is within us and to acknowledge it. Good luck with the deadline, I know you'll smash it. Looking forward to the results dropping through my letterbox again in September. Xx
Good luck with the deadline, Lia, and I hope you manage to get some rest too. Thank you for keeping the Sunday chat going, I've been finding myself really looking forward to those. See you on the other side!
Thank you, Lia, for nurturing a community of like-minded souls, through the atlas, your podcast, and these Substack posts. I’ve enjoyed peeking into others’ lives through photos and comments. You’ve been so positive and encouraging. A bit of pruning in your life seems timely as spring approaches. Oops! Almanac, not atlas, is the gift that guides.
Hope it all goes well with preparing next years almanac, these thing cannot be rushed, and I think it is so important to enjoy the process as much as possible.

Yes our bodies sometimes tell us, dont they. I hadn't actually thought of that but looking back that really is what last week felt like. Thank you x

Thank you Ella! Yes keep on recording and popping things into the weekly chat too whenever you like x
