Thank you, Nina for sharing this honest look at the last few months. I appreciated the way you figured out the intention behind the questions you ask others...that distinction of the difference between the HOW and the YOU. These blog posts are always helpful to me--reminding me of the importance of slowing down and reflecting.
I more than like this Nina. As someone who has witnessed most of your comings and goings from afar, witnessing this success just seems like a next step for you, albeit on another scale. Yet, you bring us along your journey using your extraordinary ability to reflect and write about feelings and ways of being that most of us don't quite have the words to describe. How lucky we are. Thank you for this gift. -- s.
Completely understand and can see all of that; those who know, respect, and love you will always appreciate the complexity and underlaying emotions and mind gymnastics below the surface. I love the book and have shared with it with several friends, who also love it. Success is muddy, etc. and even in your "chipper" replies, we know there is a deeper level and will always care about YOU. So glad you feel you can share that.
I love how honest you are and how you let us in on how it REALLY feels. AND, I decided to start a mother-daughter book club with your book. And one of my daughters and her dad just talked about it on their @popahallics podcast.
Thank you for sharing! I was so impressed with how much work you put in during the months following your publication, and could only imagine how exhausting it was! I have yet to meet a debut author who has the floating-on-air response throughout. Most suffer from depression after the launch. Happy for you that you're finding your peace again.
I just love this candid tale on how YOU felt before, during and after this whole process. Thank you for sharing!
