NII LANTEY PARKERPublished 28 days ago in FamiliesNotes on my first public appearance.
Photo by Redd F on Unsplash It felt weird to not write anything of consequence last week, after consistently writing for eleven weeks now (this is my twelfth, which feels like a milestone of sorts.) It was nice to just be present, to enjoy the time exploring San Diego with my husband, and to just check out from things for a few days, but it still felt weird, and I felt a little bit guilty. I don’t know where the guilt came from since I don’t technically owe anyone anything, I don’t have an editor or a deadline, and my two-piece a week goal is strictly for myself, but maybe it is because I felt like I was letting myself down a bit or not taking my weekly steps to doing this professionally or reaching my goals. Maybe I just felt like I was letting all of my five paid subscribers down by not providing content that they paid for (even though my five paid subscribers are my mom, my dad, my sister, my aunt and my husband and I think they would all forgive me and still love me even if I never wrote another thing ever again- but seriously, how do I get more paid subscriptions here?!) Maybe I just am taking this journey seriously because I want it so badly, and taking a week off feels like I’m not applying myself. But here I am, and I feel rested, my brain feels fresh, it is the astrological New Year, so onward we go, and it feels like things are about to get much, much easier, even if I don’t quite know how yet.

The Expectation
In the quaint little town of Willowbrook, nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, there was an air of anticipation that hung heavy in the crisp autumn air. It was the eve of the annual Harvest Festival, a tradition that had been celebrated for generations. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the townsfolk buzzed with excitement, preparing for the festivities that would commence with the dawn. Among the villagers was young Emily, her eyes sparkling with eagerness as she helped her mother decorate their modest cottage with strings of colorful paper lanterns and fragrant autumn flowers.
