When you work for yourself, Reader, especially when much of that work is behind a screen, it’s easy to feel alone. But after reading your responses last week, I know that’s far from true. I’ve been sending emails since 2011. 😱 And yet, so much of this creative work feels like tossing ideas into the void. Your replies remind me there’s a whole world of you out there. Here’s what I know about you: You want connection. You want reminders that it’s all going to be okay—and that while it’s on its way to being okay, you’re okay too. You want to grow, to rest (even if you’re not sure how), and to know you’re not alone. The truth is, the name of this newsletter matters less than the fact that we’re here together. But I took your feedback, mixed it with what feels right to me right now, and landed on: 🌿 Going Upward: Where clarity and action meet what matters most. This phrase captures what I help you do:
When you have all three, you create an upward spiral in your life. Miss one, and it’s easy to feel stuck, scattered, or out of sync with yourself. They're also part of cycle that helps to explore and refine your quest to create a life you love. ⬇️ You have dreams and goals that would make life better for you—and ripple out to make the world better too. I want this space to help you keep moving toward them. I’d love to know: What else would you like to see here—free downloads, tutorials, answers to your questions? Feel free to email me any specific questions you'd like to see me cover. I’ve got plenty of ideas, but I want to get clear on what you most want before I take action. In Joy, Nyssa P.S.

One night a few weeks ago, Kelly asked the question no one wants to hear in a Florida summer: “Is it hot in here?” Sure enough, the AC wasn’t cooling past 75. It wasn’t an easy fix with freon, we needed a whole new condenser. Thankfully, our handyman saved us with two window units to get through the week. And then, two days later, our old pup Bodhi declined. We knew his time had come. What timing. So we sat with him—listening to the constant white noise of the window unit—as we said our last...
Earlier this month, I got to spend time at one of my favorite places, Cocoa Beach. I love starting the day watching the sunrise from the porch. One year, I kept seeing this woman down at the beach. But she wasn't walking. She was ecstatically dancing down the beach. Headphones on. Arms moving, hips swaying. I immediately wanted to meet her, befriend her, and also be her. On my last morning, I finally said something:“I’ve seen you dancing all week. Thank you, it’s made my day.” She smiled and...
Last Spring, I got my oil changed and they told me my battery was failing. Trying to save money, I picked one up at the auto parts store instead of the dealership. Then at my recent oil change? “Your battery’s failing again.” 🤦♀️ Impossible, I thought. It’s brand new. So I went back to the store and asked the guy to test it. He looked annoyed to leave the air conditioning and check a battery in the Florida heat. But as we stepped outside, his phone rang. It was Black Sabbath’s War Pigs....
