September 2025 Recap & Personal Update
Stepping away to step forward…
If you read my article titled “A Pilgrim’s New Path”, that is how my month started out. On September 1st, two friends from the US and I set out on the Camino Finistère, the only one of the Caminos de Santiago that begins where others end. We walked for five days to the mythic end of the world.
Within days of my return home, fall was rolling in, and I could feel summer slipping away. I started to pack and then move to the part of town I always wanted to live in. This was a month that required not only physical strength and coordination from me, but also careful planning and perseverance.
Although I only ended the month with 8 articles instead of my usual 12, I feel like I accomplished a lot in terms of my quality of life. And isn’t that what it’s all about?
As always, when I take my eyes off my stats, things have improved! My Medium followers are at 3,533 — can I actually start hoping for that 4K!!!. I’ve had an increase of 12 in subscribers to my stories on Medium. This is a BIG increase given how slow things have been lately. I’ve had over 847 views on my stories this month — an increase here as well.
My Substack newsletter, Rosaswalksoflife, is at 215 subscribers and 1.55K views in the last 90 days.
