Project Updates

Morning everyone.

If you’ve been with me since either the beginning, or at least since March 18 when I made my “big announcement” confessional, some of you might be wondering, “What the heck is going on? Where is she? Why haven’t there been as many posts recently? Why haven’t there been any updates? And what’s with this pathetic Patreon page she’s got?”

Here are the answers you are looking for:

1. In addition to realising I need to slow down, especially with my personal life developing into something far more I could dream, think, or imagine – I’m needing to reassess my entire project timeline.
2. I have commitments to my synagogue which are keeping me irregularly but frequently busy.
3. One of my project team members needed to step down due to her own developing personal life, which has put the project on pause.
4. I still have a full-time job, which actually pays the bills, and I need to maintain this position for the time being until other avenues provide financial means allowing me to step down.

Essentially, sometimes I feel as though I’m working 3 full-time jobs: my paying job, my synagogue job, and my dream job.

Unfortunately, I’m sure you can guess which one is neglected the most, both to my detriment and I hope also yours.

Through all of this, though, and with the help of my patient, long-suffering rabbi and rebbetzin, I am learning how to not merely juggle life, but how to prioritise and live a life which is whole and good and fulfilling.

It’s going to take some time, I know. And while I may not be the most patient person in the world, sometimes feeling as though I’m running out of time, I know and believe and trust in the reality that as long as I don’t give up or give in, I will win.

Failure is acceptable. Giving up is not.

In the meantime, nothing has changed. It’s just on pause.

I will continue to blog and write various musings, and eventually, that projects page will be regularly updated. My main task right now, though, is to find my rhythm so this becomes a consistent production, not a “when I feel like it” or “when I have the time” or “when I’m inspired”.

And for those of you who have been with me through all these ups and downs, since the beginning (which was over a year now, can you believe it?!) – thank you. Thank you for your time and your reading of my messy life. I hope as these musings continue, we each find our journeys inspired by the Hope that no matter what Life throws at us, it’s worth it.

Thank you, and enjoy.
