This was such a joyful recap to read, Sophia—congratulations on all your success this year, in the "creative fulfillment" sense and also the "cold hard numbers" one! 🥳
Thank you, Maddie! The cold hard numbers are definitely not going to shatter headlines, but I also want to undo the tendency humans have in only celebrating the milestones, and ignoring the building block moments in between. Winning the lottery would be nice, but making a few dollars a day is a little more realistic 😉
Agreed completely. We spend the vast majority of life quietly putting down brick after foundational brick, but compare ourselves to other people's finished buildings. I appreciate that you're committed to sharing more "building block moments"!
Thanks for letting me participate, Aja! Asha's jewelry pieces are so thoughtfully designed, so more than happy to spread the love and help grow her business.
So excited to see your growth! Go go goooo :)
Slow and steady wins the race! 🐢 (Also, you are up very early!)
Very cool. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing!! 🥰
Thanks Claire! I spent too many years making numbers look better than they actually are so now I find it easier to cut through the BS 😜
Congrats on the growth!
Thank you Marc🙏

Sophia, that necklace was one of the most popular links on the gift guide — our readers clearly love your taste! (As do Aliza and I, of course!)
Thank you for a thoughtful write-up, and congrats on growing the Write-Life Balance; I'm excited to see where you take it in 2023.
