A (Tiny) Bit of Positivity in a Time of Chaos

📚 A Little Light in the Chaos

I’ll be honest—this week has been rough. I’m staring down another move, and the emotional weight of packing up a life (again) is hitting harder than expected. There’s something about impermanence that always stirs up the deeper stuff: memories, regrets, hopes, and the ache of leaving behind spaces that held pieces of me.

But today, I opened my Kindle Direct Publishing dashboard and saw something that made me pause. Two new orders. Two readers—somewhere out there—chose to spend time with Reunion: A Story and Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen. That’s $5.29 in royalties. Not a windfall, but it’s not about the number. It’s about the connection.

It’s a reminder that even in the midst of personal upheaval, the stories I’ve poured myself into are still finding their way into someone else’s hands. That matters. That’s something.

I’m sharing this not to boast, but to breathe. To remind myself—and maybe you—that small victories count. That art has a way of reaching people even when we feel scattered. And that sometimes, good news arrives in quiet, unexpected ways.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve read the books, shared a kind word, or simply checked in—I’m grateful.
