Hi Lovely People of Solid Ground,

I’m writing to let you know after some deep reflection that I’ve decided I need to do a bit of a reset on many levels of my life, and as a result, I will be stepping away from Solid Ground, at least for a few months. I’m finding I need to be spending less time scrolling on X, listening to podcasts, watching YouTube, and generally absorbing more content than I can process; and also feel a need to be spending more time trying to build in-real-life, in-person connections. I would also like to be spending more time engaged in my spiritual life, which used to be a big part of my life but has dwindled down to next to nothing. My official final day is November 7. I will likely pop into Locals from time to time, however, but may take a break from that for a few weeks.

It has meant so much to me to be engaged with you all these past few years. It is really has been an honor to be able to hear your stories, challenges, ways of making sense of the last few crazy years; and you feel very precious to me. I have been grateful for your fellowship and friendship.

Deborah
