Me right now! I honestly thought I was already moving pretty slowly. Then I got hit with shoulder tendonitis and ended up in enough pain that I couldn’t work for several days. I just got the diagnosis and meds today' so I'm not sure how long the healing process will take. I’m able to type again, but not comfortably and not for long stretches. Which is frustrating, especially because I’m very close to finishing something I’ve been working on for my community and for new members coming in. I don’t really understand the timing of this forced pause. But I’m choosing not to argue with it or turn it into something it isn’t. Just adjusting and taking things as they come, even if it means everything moves a little differently than I expected for a moment. If you’re dealing with your own version of a slowdown right now, feel free to share so we can give you some moral support.

Huge shout-out to @Sam Greiner for all the guidance she's given me on how to make my community more fun and engaging, following Goose's amazing real-life examples. Sam helped me land on a playful community theme that actually fits me, plus gave me smart, practical ideas for making changes without overcomplicating everything. She also shared great perspective on keeping my community fun and human, which is the whole point, right? Today I finally started implementing some of the changes we covered. I'm feeling really good about the work I did but OMG... my brain is on massive overload!!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 I’ll keep y'all posted as things continue to take shape in my community. Sharing in case it’s useful or relatable for anyone else who’s in the middle of a build or refresh. And, it feels good to share and sort of give myself some level of accountability here (sort of?). @Sam Greiner 👇 👇 👇

It's Day 2 of my commitment to being in here daily and I may or may not already be addicted to y'all❣️ Before yesterday, I was just seeing all the silly but not the utmost kindness, generosity, and wisdom in here. I apologize for being so shallow. 😭
