When the Rhythm Shifts

Dear Subscribers, Followers and Fans

This morning, I got on my bike.

Not to time myself or go farther than normal. Just to ride.

Sometimes, when I’m circling through too many thoughts — too many projects, too many priorities — I find clarity in the outdoors and the freedom it brings. And lately, I’ve needed it.

You may have noticed the Tuesday chapters of Whispers of Echo Canyon haven’t arrived as predictably these past couple weeks. That pause wasn’t about procrastination. It was about pace. And alignment.

Because here’s what’s true:

I’m in the final stretch of turning Whispers into a book. Not just something you read in weekly slices, but something whole. Something you can hold in your hands or share with a friend.

And finishing a book — really finishing it — is a different kind of work. It’s quiet, exacting, and often invisible to those on the outside.

At the same time, I’ve been growing something else:

A series of Life’s Threads reflections and a small course to support women (maybe like you) who are navigating their own in-between seasons — friendship shifts, identity pivots, the longing for a deeper kind of purpose.

It’s nonfiction. But it’s rooted in the same heart as my stories.

So if you’ve been wondering where I went: I didn’t go anywhere.

I’ve just been adjusting the rhythm.

Right now, I’m focused on three things:

• Publishing Whispers on Amazon in print and Kindle

• Keeping a pulse of fiction going through short pieces like Daily Dose

• Writing real-life reflections for women ready to grow their next chapter.

It’s not what I was hoping to do. I wanted to start you on the next book, Mirage of Trust. But I’m being honest. And fair to myself.

If you’re still with me on this ride—thank you.

Now, I’d like to hear from you. Thanks, Marylee 😎🚲
