I'm Rechargeable

And so are you...

Have you dived into the Promise Duet yet?

I’d LOVE to hear what you think! And if you can, please leave me a review?

It doesn’t have to be eloquent. I’ll tell you a secret - I write the most banal reviews, but they help authors, so I put them out there!

The Promise Of Rain just came out on October 31st. And for the most part, post-release, I took the week off social media.

I needed a break.

No planned posts.

No newsletter.

No sweat, right?

If only.

Every single day, I had it out with myself.

‘You should be posting.’

‘It’s okay to take a few days.’

‘Your book just came out! You can’t drop the ball like that.’

‘I need to regroup.’

Truthfully, there is always something else to do; something else I can do. I’m sure you can relate.

Think about any project or intention you’ve committed to.

The beginning is always exciting. The middle is usually a bit of a muddle, and at the end, there’s an almost supernatural push to cross the finish line.

You feel like a hero.

Against all odds, you came out victorious.

But instead of receiving a ribbon and an all-inclusive paid vacation to the Caribbean, you’ve already moved on to the next item on your never-ending to-do list.

But maintaining that pace is not feasible.

We don’t run on electricity.

We’re more like rechargeable batteries.

We use them all the time in our phones, iPads, laptops… And we accept that recharging is part of the process.

So it is with us.

I’m not all that happy with myself for the way I recharged. there was no need for the daily, inner, mental self-harassment.

We need to give ourselves full, unconditional permission to recharge.

Whenever we need to.

And the thing is, we don’t even have to feel guilty about it.

Like our devices, we run so much better on a fully charged battery.

This week, I wish you to give yourselves a little grace.

And if that grace includes a hot, fictional, swoony, groveling man? The Promise Duet delivers!

I hope you enjoy Maggie, Baxter, Jenny, and Deacon.

That’s it for me, for now.

Live Messy, Love Madly!
