I’m so sad but so proud of you. I’m still watching you grow - Fabienne Real or Fabienne Verde. Love you, sweet Fabienne. Enjoy your weekend. Until we chat again 🕊️✨🤍

Thanks so much, my favourite ginger Alli 🥰 Don't be sad. I'll be around (on the other side of the big ocean 🌊😊)

lol not really sad tears… bittersweet perhaps!

Your post encouraged me to face my own fears relating to moving forward and letting go. It’s scary sometimes- especially without a safety net.

But you motivated me to finalize half of my book proposal yesterday.

Most importantly, I’m just so proud of you for coming to such a powerful decision in the best interest of you. You’re looking out for you and it’s beautiful. 🕊️✨

I guess they weren’t entirely irrational? Crying makes me so uncomfortable!

This makes so much sense! A new chapter, adventure and certainly life that requires energy and also time for joy in the present away from screens. I have burnt myself out by trying to show up weekly here last year. It’s just not worth it in my eyes with numbers going down and everyone feeling like they cannot keep up.

I hope you return sporadically whenever you feel the urge to write non scientific stuff for a change 😇 all the best in the meantime 👋

Carmen, your message means a lot to me. ✨

And you are right, maybe, it is the last stamp for now. And we will see what time brings in terms of new stories, energy, focus and ideas 😊

Big hug to you! 🥰

I guess we can all relate at times, Alex. And actually, it is healthy to make this decision from time to time again to see if anything has changed - or has come to the point of changing :) Thanks for being around 😊

Ah Fabienne! This is such a strange moment for me, as I've sailed the fun (and sometimes less so) waters of Substack alongside you more or less since I started 🥹

I will miss your postcards and hearing about your adventures in detail here, but I'm very glad you are prioritising what matters most and not overburdening yourself ❤️

A very big hug and never stop following your dreams, you are an enormous source of inspiration!! ✨️🥰🥰
