Reaching 100,000 views on Writing Through the Soul feels surreal. What began as a quiet space for reflection, healing, and honesty has grown into a community of readers who truly understand what it means to live, feel, and express life deeply. Today, I want to celebrate that milestone—and also share why I haven’t been writing as much lately.
100,000 Views: A Milestone From the Heart
When I started Writing Through the Soul, I didn’t write for numbers. I wrote because I needed to. Writing has always been my way of processing pain, discovering gratitude, and finding light in difficult seasons. To see that 100,000 people have visited, read, and connected with my words is both humbling and empowering.
Every comment, every share, every quiet reader who visits without saying a word—you matter. You helped this blog grow into something far bigger than I ever imagined. This milestone belongs to all of us.
Why I Haven’t Been Writing as Much
If you’ve noticed fewer posts lately, there’s a reason.
Winter is always a challenging season for me. Cold weather doesn’t just mean cozy blankets and snow-covered mornings—it often equals pain. There are days when the cold settles deep into my body, making it hard to move, hard to focus, and sometimes hard to even sit at the computer to write.
Some days, I can hardly move at all.
Writing through the soul requires energy—physical, emotional, and spiritual. And in the winter months, that energy can be limited. I’ve had to listen to my body more carefully this season. Rest has become necessary, not optional.
That doesn’t mean the passion is gone. It simply means I’m honoring my limits.
Writing Through Pain
If anything, this season has deepened my understanding of what “writing through the soul” truly means. It means writing when it’s hard. It means being honest about struggles. It means acknowledging that creativity ebbs and flows.
There are seasons for productivity.
There are seasons for rest.
Both are valid.
Winter has become my season of quiet reflection rather than constant output. I’m still here. I’m still writing—just more slowly, more gently, and more intentionally.
Gratitude Beyond Words
To every single reader who helped Writing Through the Soul reach 100,000 views—thank you.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for understanding.
Your support reminds me that vulnerability matters. Authentic storytelling matters. And even when I cannot write as often, the connection we’ve built remains strong.
I may move slower in the winter.
I may write less during painful days.
But this blog—and this community—means everything to me.
Here’s to 100,000 views.
Here’s to honesty.
Here’s to healing.
And here’s to continuing, even if it’s one gentle word at a time.
Thank-you for reading
