Wow, wow, wow! As I read this, I kept thinking “I do that. I do that, too. And that.” I call my gremlins demons, and they come for me whenever I am starting something I really care about. Thank you for this incredibly insightful piece!

Thank you Emily! 😊 I used to call my gremlims saboteurs, but changed it up to try and lighten my relationship with them. So agree that they are demons - and some of mine show up as wise or cute. Regardless, they are still nasty little buggers.

Well, my should maybe be a gremlin, but I feel I should have a decent job. What I love about these is that I think about the situation and well at times it seems difficult there might be a few answers or observations.

Thank you so much for this post Laverne! My process of reinvention is a winding trip and I am so happy to know that I am not alone. Thank you for the reminder to listen to my body.

Thank you for being an inspiration!

PS. I love the color palette! :-)

Thanks Jenni - I think reinvention is defined by being a winding trip! And I so appreicate how you have been becoming your own muse.

Amazingly candid and so perfectly raw! Pun intended. You know that when technology was born it had intended to make things better and easier. Now there are DSM codes for psychological conditions created from the crazy-making it often causes. Hero journey is what you just expressed here. Whew!

Thanks Niya - I like to think of myself as someone who can power through the (tech) obstacles and figure it out. But it is crazy-making when I swear I'm doing exactly what the you-tube video is telling me to do. I think my sleep deprivation had a huge impact. So appreciate you!
