The Digest: 12/8/2023
This week's most share-worthy resources from around the interwebz
Happy Friday!!!
The introductory portion of last week’s Digest was crazy long, so I'll try to keep this week’s introduction a bit shorter (or at least a bit more focused).
There is one main thing I’d like to cover with you, though.
Posts from me other than The Digest on Fridays may become less frequent.
I’ve been sharing them every week recently, but this has detracted from my efforts to write a few lengthier, more personal pieces I started when I returned from my travels.
For context, when I first got home, I started writing about my time abroad.
That writing was helping me make sense of (and peace with) what I’d experienced.
Once I started writing and publishing other ideas here, I largely put those more personal efforts on the back burner.
To make time and space to get back to them, I’m going to pump the brakes on publishing here for a while.
I’d like to share what I write about those experiences eventually, but that may be a few months from now (if not longer).
There might still be posts here other than The Digest every now and then.
We’ll have to see where my writing takes me, though.
Thank you for all your encouragement and support so far :-)
