The honest update - a little stress, a lot of heart 🧡

A little messy, a lot beautiful - and 11 days to go...

I’m sending an extra email this week, to give you an honest update on what’s what…

If you saw last week’s email, you’ll know I’m launching my new book.

How’s that going, eh?

This is where I’m at:

• I’m not going to lie, I was a teeny bit stressed on Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun. It felt like heightened senses, agitation and an unsettledness.

• I did get cranky at my husband for not doing some household chore, which I extrapolated to mean - you don’t understand how vulnerable it is to launch a book! Why aren’t you supporting me by doing said household chore!

• I did calm down from said crankiness and realised that it was my job to look after myself during this campaign and communicate what I need from others - if and when I need it. Yes, mature!

• I’m now feeling settled - and open to whatever happens, which feels better than feeling stressed or cranky. Much better.

And this is where the project’s at:

• The project funded in 2.5 hours, which is wonderful!

• We received a ‘Projects We Love’ endorsement from the Kickstarter team, given to projects that are “brilliant examples of creativity”. Wow!

• We unlocked the first bonus - The Story Companion. That means that everyone who backs the project will receive a free digital guide with real locations, soulful reflections, and character-inspired prompts to explore both the story - and yourself.

• We’ve had 26 amazing backers pledge almost $2500. Woo hoo!

What’s next?

• We’re aiming for the next bonus - Backer Acknowledgements - Every backer will have the option to be listed in the acknowledgements section of the book. It's my way of thanking you for being part of the creative process.

• The party has started and you’re invited!

• We’ve got 11 days to go!
