Thanks for this update, Claudette! I realized I was following you from two accounts, so I unsubscribed from one.
Reinvention is one of the reasons I really enjoy reading your work. WordPress is so hard to let go of! I think there's a comfortability there, and it's the easiest place to make writer friends. But I, too, am transitioning in a lot of ways and have contemplating actually using my Substack. Who knows?
With each season, there is room for reinvention. Not only in the traditional seasons of the year but the season of our lives. Looking forward to reading more.

Life is change, and reinvention is change, so you're just doing what comes naturally.
Let's look at the etymology of "reinvention":
Rein - meaning to pull in, slow down, rethink things.
Vent - meaning to express your opinions and frustrations in a somewhat cathartic manner.
Ion - from Physics, roughly meaning to buzz around in a charged state (positive or negative)
So, um, kind of a whirlwind of enthusiasm, that everyone's gonna know about, and at the end you'll feel better.
[Well, 'creative etymology']
That's fantastic Graham! I love how you broke the word up into different parts. Now I have a whole new perspective on reinvention.

Really? I'm so happy you read my work, Kathy!
I have mixed feelings about WP too,but like you, keep staying there to stay connected with the tribe.
Looking forward to what your next steps will be.
Yes! We reinvent ourselves every time a semester starts...At least, I like to think that my teaching methods evolve and improve over time.
Ah, we started classes two weeks ago...so there is a holiday coming on Monday :-)
Good luck with everything, dear Claudette!
Yes, teachers everywhere go through this reinvention process every September, don't they. May you have a fantastic start to the new school year, Te!
