ahh I'm sad to hear this Jody!! But I'm blessed to hear how clearly you hear God's calling and the way that's the most important thing in your life. (Also, to be honest I thought you were MUCH younger when I met you!!). I'm really grateful we got to meet in person, and I pray it's a sweet time of committing to your family and church and coaching. I'm rooting for you! Always around if you need anything
Thank you, Jody. I have been blessed by your writings and thoughts. I will stay connected through the archive. God’s richest blessings on your change of direction.
But I also completely understand, and I think it's great you're taking time for yourself and your family. That's truly what matters in the long run...Best wishes for the future!
The way in which you recognize your capacities and choose to focus on what is important serves as a positive example for those of us who try a little too hard to do it all.
May God bless the next part of the journey He has prepared for you.
"Auf Wiedersehen" is the perfect choice because it means "until we meet again." 💚
I will miss your presence here, Jody. You are wise to seek the Lord, follow wise counsel, and listen to these promptings. I am so glad I get to talk poetry with you in heaven!
Oh good! I thought you were quitting Substack entirely, but I am happy you will still be here to talk poetry. You are an encouraging online writer-friend!💚

Claire, thank you. Your note here made me smile..... Yes, I'm excited too about the next season and thanks for rooting for me!
(yeah, people are usually surprised when they learn my age--I have good genes and God's grace to credit for that.) See you on Notes :-)

You're so kind. Thank you.

Spiritual direction is such a gift. (I see mine tomorrow. We've been together for twelve years.)
Blessings, Jody.

I intend the best for you in this next phase of your life. I am coming to a time of change myself. Blessings on what is to come!
And on you! Thank you Rachael.
Good on you, Jody! Thanks for laying your words upon us!

Well, I still intend to read your rich posts and thoughts, so we can still talk poetry. :-)

I'll miss you, Jody; you have been such an encouragement to me. May God bless you and keep you.
So very kind of you Mel. God bless you as well.
I recently left WordPress after about 8 years. I’ve moved to Substack to write reviews, etc. So I too have made a change.
All the best!
And thank you for the kind wishes.
So funny, I moved from WordPress after 10 plus years to come to Substack:-).
