Like Mitle, I can appreciate your reflections on self-doubt and for me working through that as I self-published my first children's book many years ago was really about whether I was "worthy" or not, though it would take me a few more books written and healing during that time that I'd come to realize I am worthy. Self publishing that long ago had more of a stigma it seemed, where as today, it's about being the leader of what you wish to share with the world in your own way - at least it's how I see it. I loved the insight about the Omen Days also and your insights from that. It reminds me of how in the past at the beginning of each year I'd pull an animal oracle card for each month of the year. When I looked back at the year and each animal card pulled, I could see clearly how each played out for me - it was quite fascinating. Which is nudging and reminding me I need to do that for this year too. I look forward to reading your book! All my best to you with that endeavour!

Thank you so much for your sharing. I particularly appreciated your reflections on self-doubt; and that line "Sometimes I feel naked without my familiar blanket of self-doubt" touched my core! I noticed this weekend that I put it back for protection but really, I have outgrown it. And wishing your book a beautiful landing. Thank you xx
