Welcome to Texture
Grieving mode
Hey friends. It’s been a long while.
No news is sometimes good news. But sometimes no news is actually sad news.
I've been hiding under my shell. You haven’t heard from me since April. It’s because I’ve been in grieving mode, and I haven’t had much to say. My mom’s memory – as mother, wife, and chief champion of me going out there and figuring it out – despite the barriers naturally and humanly set before me – is too important to put into a few words in a newsletter. I have bigger plans for keeping her memory alive. But I thought I’d let you know about my radio silence since the last edition of TEXTURE.
This time has gotten me thinking about a lot of things, and I’ve had the freedom as a freelance writer and editor to spend some time letting myself go through the stages of grief in as healthy a manner as possible. I have a way to go still.
I share some thoughts on my Substack.
Until next time.
