I took this photo at the Colosseum right after realizing I hadn't posted on Bsky in 4 months.

Not because I disappeared, and definitely not because I ran out of things to say...

(Tap the image & read the alt text to find out...)

I've actually been here the whole time... just in a different way.

Behind the scenes, I've been helping others build their voice on this platform.

Refining how they show up, how they connect, how they stand out in all the noise and how they generate attention and grow.

It's been meaningful, creative, and honestly kind of addictive.

But somewhere along the way, I stopped showing up for myself.

Standing in front of the Colosseum brought something up for me.

This thing has lasted thousands of years, not because it shouted the loudest, but because it stood with presence and intention.

That hit me.

I don't need to post often or loudly, but when I do, it'll be deeply me.

So here I am.

Back, and glad to be.
