Hey there, my awesome tribe!
First off, a HUGE apology.
It's been radio silence from me and you might have wondered, "Where did Marlene disappear to?!" or "Did they decide to join a silent monk monastery?" 😜 Nope, not quite.
Here's the quick rundown:
Moving Madness: I relocated and trust me, moving house is no joke! Especially in the sizzling heat of France. My plants might have enjoyed the sun, but your girl here? Not so much. I was melting. No kidding here.
Work Overdrive: While I was battling with boxes, I had not one, but TWO client projects with tight deadlines. Talk about multitasking! Don’t do the same, you’ll lose your mind, believe me 😅
Health Hurdles: And if the universe wanted to add a cherry on top, I got sick AND experienced a tiny burnout. Yay!
Heat & Sleep: Oh! And did I mention the unbearable heat that made getting a good night's sleep a mission impossible? Tom Cruise would've been proud.
Now, it might sound like I’m narrating the latest blockbuster adventure, but that's been my life for the past couple of weeks.
The stress? Real.
The fatigue? Through the roof.
The Twitter absence? Totally unintentional but maybe needed.
Imagine standing at the foot of a daunting mountain, knowing you've got to climb it.
Each task, each responsibility, each unread email, represents a rocky path on that mountain. And I was, and still am, at the base camp, lacing up my hiking boots.
BUT! Every mountain has its peak, and once you reach it, the view is splendid, breathtaking. I know that view awaits, and I’m here, starting my climb.
Good News? I'm BACK! 🎉
And am I ready to get back into the Twitter groove, share some gems with you, and embark on our digital journey together! 😎
A Tiny Request: If there's one thing I've learned from this whirlwind, it's the importance of pacing oneself. Don't spread yourself too thin. Burnouts aren’t a myth; they're real and they hit hard. My sincere wish for you? Don’t make the same mistake. Keep an eye on your well-being, always.
To wrap up, here's a quick heads-up:
🚀 Expect some epic content coming your way soon.
🤝 Let's reconnect. Drop a comment or DM – I've missed our chats!
💌 Got suggestions, requests, or just want to share a meme? I'm here for it.
Until next time, keep climbing your mountains and remember – every summit is within reach if you keep moving!
To growth, humor, and finding the beauty in every landscape,
Marlene 🤗

Oh Marlene, how much I feel your words!
I've experienced it - all:
full time job, three small kids, side gigs to put the bread on the table (living in Serbia where an average salary is not enough to survive)... experienced burnout and learnt my lesson.
Nowadays, I have a full time job, and have to keep it so I can keep my Australian visa, working on my small side hustle Marketing Fary at my own pace and enjoy the process. Finger cross I can manage itm, and happy to cheer for you along your road.
