Hi Tiffany, I’ve only discovered you today, but what you said about slowing down and seeing things through a child’s eyes really chimes with me. I’ve recently gone part-time in order to spend more time with my son and to just experience life rather than grinding through a never ending to do list. I’ve started writing about it on here. I think my pieces are a bit sillier than yours, but seem to come from the same place

Thanks so much Stuart! How lovely to have made that decision - it sounds excellent. It's so easy to get swept up in the chaos of everything. It feels good to slow things down! Lovely to connect with you! :)

What a lovely post, I can imagine sitting on those logs with you. Doesn't it feel like a total revelation when you realise you actually can slow down and just observe a for bit? You painted a beautiful picture of the day. Nice cuckoo flower too, I am just about to write this week's post all about them!

Thanks Zabby!! And yes - I'm finding it so satisfying finding ways to 'swim upstream' a bit and not get so swept up in the chaos of modern life. Can't wait to read your take on the cuckooflower - I'm loving your nature noticeboard! :)

Your last platform seemed fine - lots of graphics. Is substack amenable to posting your art?

Yes, I did really like the design element to it but a few people found it too difficult to navigate. I should still be able to post my art here - it all seems suitable enough, fingers crossed! :)

Hello Tiffany,

I was wondering where you had gotten to and thinking she must be far too busy with a new baby, if it has arrived by now, to be sharing her ideas and creative work, art, writing etc. So, your faithful fanbase shouldn't unsubscribe, just yet.

Sending good wishes.

Hi Tiffany, thanks for the recommendation :-) I'm sorry I missed your survey as I was on hols, but loved that you've made the switch! It will be lovely to see you on here.

Thanks so much Wendy!! And no worries at all! I'm really excited to be on here, I'm not really sure why I didn't go for Substack in the first place but it all feels good :)
