The Pause Between Pages
I'll Be Back Soon
For those of you who follow me, who show up, quietly or faithfully, to read the pieces of my life that I lay out in words, you may have noticed something different today.
There was no story.
And if you’ve come to expect one, if it’s become even the smallest part of your daily rhythm, then I imagine the silence felt noticeable. Maybe even a little unsettling. I understand that, because writing these stories has become part of my rhythm too, part of how I breathe through everything that’s been happening.
But today, I had to choose something else.
I wish I could explain everything. I wish I could open the door wide and let you see exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. But I can’t, not yet. What I can say is this… the work I’ve been doing, the “information packet” I’ve mentioned before, has reached a critical point.
It’s no longer just about gathering pieces.
Now, it’s about precision.
Pages have shifted. Details have been refined. Connections that once sat neatly in place now need to be rebuilt, relinked, and verified. Every document, every timeline, every thread must align, because this isn’t just paperwork.
This is protection.
This is truth.
This is something that matters deeply, not only for my grandmother, but for me.
And right now, it requires my full attention.
So I’ve stepped back from my daily writing, not because the stories have stopped, but because something else needs to be finished first. Something that carries weight beyond words.
I’m close. Closer than I’ve been before.
There are only a few more documents to gather, a few more connections to secure. And once that’s done, another phase begins: printing, organizing, assembling. Multiple folders. Multiple copies. Information prepared carefully for the people who need to see it, people who can help move this forward.
That part will take time too.
And in the middle of all of this, I’ve had to make a difficult but necessary decision… to pause.
Not completely.
I will still be here on Mondays, continuing the story of Arthur, because that thread matters to me, and I know it matters to some of you too. But beyond that, I can’t promise daily words right now. I can’t promise consistency in the way I have before.
What I can promise is that this pause has purpose.
If you’ve been reading my stories, then you know, they’re not just stories. They’re release. They’re survival. They’re the way I process emotions that sometimes rise so intensely, I have no choice but to put them somewhere outside of myself.
And knowing that those words are read, that they reach you, wherever you are, means more than I can fully express.
It warms me. It steadies me.
It reminds me that even in something I never chose, never asked for, I am not entirely alone.
So for now, I step back… not away, just back.
To focus.
To finish what I started.
To make sure everything is exactly as it needs to be.
Because this matters.
And I believe, truly, deeply, that everything is going to be okay.
I don’t know exactly when I’ll be back to speaking with you the way I have been. I hope it’s soon. I want it to be soon.
Until then, take care of yourselves.
And thank you… for reading, for staying, for walking this road beside me, even when the path disappears for a little while.
We’ll talk again soon.


Be well
