Every night this week Im going to talk a little about where I stand since the weekend questions and slowly processing all your responses to me. It feels nice to open it up and have some interaction over it. A lot of you feel like you are genuinely part of this fluttering tribe now and engagement has always been my priority. So where to begin... Well, when I started this page last April it was a matter of just doing whatever I liked. I could post whenever I wanted, I could write lots about the post itself. I could post quotes. I was free to grow the space as others were growing theirs. I could share freely. And it felt exciting. I have met some incredible page admins that are genuine friends of mine today and my words were reaching further and further outside of my laptop and my little corner desk in my lounge which is where they had circulated for a couple years before, longing to travel somewhere. Over the past year, running a page has become a lot more complicated. Lots of restrictions have been brought in. Unspoken rules you stumble across that clarify why your page has stopped growing as fluidly as it was before. And its the growing science behind being here that feels difficult for me to swallow sometimes. And so that was why I wanted to check in with you all and get a better picture of how it all looked from where youre sitting as well. That being said, this space has become so sacred to me. I have connected with some very beautiful souls. I have felt so grateful for this platform and in my gratitude I have put so much time and energy into it. So when it seems that my time and energy is being undone by unspoken new policies etc, its hard to swallow without frustration. Thats the challenge now. What to do with this frustration and sadness that comes up daily as I see my organic reach dwindle further. Im sure there is something beautiful to be had in all this. Firstly, Im going to start doing a newsletter. Please leave your email under this post if you would like to be on my list, or private message the page with it. I just have this compelling urge to grow something from what I do, the things I write on, how I write too. I started this page to create something for my family, my butterfly and my pebbles (my two little girls). I wanted to grow a readership, a community of like-minded people who were drawn to my writings because it spoke to them of their own journey and promptings. I feel I am doing that, theres just some kind of leap waiting for me right now. I feel it in my bones. I also started a group here called Project Butterfly Free where I often post things from here that you might miss. Look it up if you would like to join that too. Ok, thats probably enough for you to digest for today. Hopefully see you around the same time tomorrow night. And poem 3 is now on the page too. Sweet dreams bellas xx Be with you tomorrow xxxx
