Funny story… my free workshop last week, one person signed up.

It was my friend. Being supportive. Bless her.

Even funnier, I didn't know she signed up because I hadn't figured out how to turn on subscriber notifications yet! She literally texted me 3 minutes after it was supposed to start asking, “did I click the right link?”

Oh the embarrassment!!!

Ten years ago, this would have sent me into a spiral. I would have taken it personally, felt like a failure, questioned everything, and spent days, maybe weeks beating myself up.

But present-day me? I looked at what I actually accomplished.

I built a landing page from scratch. I organized a full workshop concept into a slide deck. I showed up on social media ten times — after five years of not posting at all. I figured out the funnel, free download auto responder, Zoom link, and a dozen other small tech things in just a couple of weeks.

All making my life easier when I try again in the fall.

What I've learned from 15 years of composting is that nothing is wasted - not food scraps, not failed experiments, not the attempts that didn't go the way you planned. All of it breaks down into something useful. The pile just needs time to transform.

While it cures (the technical term for organic matter slowly transforming into soil), I'll be here every Wednesday, sharing my mistakes and my musings, doing my best to extract some practical meaning from it all.

Which brings me to you, darling.

I genuinely believe that most of the things keeping us stuck — the indecision, the paralysis, the inability to trust ourselves — aren't about not knowing what to do.

They're about being too afraid of getting it wrong to try at all. In the past, that was certainly the case for me!

We let an event become an identity.

No signed up = no one cares about me.

I made a mistake = I am a mistake.

I failed = I am a failure.

But the event was just data. Useful, necessary, occasionally humbling, data.

Can you think of something you once considered a failure?

A relationship, a job, a creative project, a decision you made that didn't go the way you planned?

What if you put on the lens of “successful failure” and looked at the data surrounding it?

What did you learn along the way to that “failure,” that was actually quite useful? Is there anything you learned, that you could only have learned by going through that?

Is there anything that "failure" made possible that wouldn't have happened otherwise?

Or maybe, just maybe, is there something you might not be trying right now because you’re afraid of it not being successful - or too successful?

Sit with it. Notice where you feel it in your body. You don't have to solve anything.

Just notice.

Then get some pen and paper, and see where the pen takes you. What data you are able to gather…

You already know what you need to do.

Sometimes you just need a to remember that everything happens for a reason. Everything has its time and season.

We are exactly where we're meant to be. You (and I) got this!

Love & Light,

Pri
