Hello readers!
How are you? Doing well, I hope! I am writing to tell you I am taking a summer break. I might be back, I might not. This space has changed enough that I don’t know where or if I fit in here. I’m okay if I don’t and make my exit. Maybe I am meant to do other things.
I started this newsletter in January 2023 because I missed the amount of writing I did in grad school less than a year earlier. I thoroughly enjoyed writing it, especially with some of the topics. I was also B-O-R-E-D with my job, I was not being challenged enough and the “writing” I did at work was confirming details and copying and pasting information into trip bulletins.
However, I do a lot more writing now, two newsletters a quarter for two sectors of the tourism industry and I’m responsible for the content and ideas, itineraries and their descriptions for two sectors of the tourism industry visiting Victoria, kind rejection and acceptance emails to content creators, some marketing writing, and lots and lots of emails! This job is making up for all the times I asked the universe for “more writing opportunities at work”. I am definitely challenged in my daily job now and I love it. And, I am so busy and I would not want be anywhere else! That said, the last thing I want to do when I get home is open up my computer and write more. It just isn’t in the cards right now and I’ve accepted that. If you’ve paid for subscription, I’ll be pausing or cancelling the payments so that you will not be charged. Thank you for your support though!
Thank you for being here, maybe I’ll be back. Either way, you can find me over on Instagram at @sonya_goes_places or @move.stretch.repeat.
Bye for now, :)

Cuteeee lady in a cute jumpsuit! Love red on you! I'm so glad that your work writing is filling up your bucket right now. I have to admit I also kind of fell out of love with Substack and nuked mine, but I'm still hanging out here and there to read. I've enjoyed your writing and if you come back, I'll be here!
