Notes from debbie #10

DispatchedOctober 8, 2025

Hello, Friend!

I’m so excited to pop into your inbox (or browser) with an update. There’s a lot to unpack: stories, lessons and some good old real talk. So, let’s dive in.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this dispatch:

  1. Embracing Imperfection: Why it’s okay (and sometimes necessary!) to share your work, even if it’s not “perfect.”
  2. The Importance of Living in the Now: How three (3) unexpected funerals made me reevaluate the way I plan for the future and cherish the present.
  3. Staying Grounded: The little habits and daily rituals (like reading my favorite devotional) that keep me centered (plus, I’d love to hear about yours!)
  4. Launching New Projects: The scoop on my new “Love Note to the Caribbean” series (and my ongoing struggle to actually hit “publish”).
  5. Giving Yourself Grace: Why it’s okay to change your pace and plans (like moving this communication from fortnightly to monthly) as life evolves.
