I’m Glad I Didn’t Quit

There was a moment Last Monday afternoon when Remarkable Monday almost disappeared. Not figuratively—literally.

I accidentally scheduled this newsletter for deletion when working on the backend. One wrong move and suddenly the thing I’ve built for almost 100 weeks straight was on its way out. Thankfully, Beehiiv support stepped in and restored it, but the damage wasn’t technical. It was emotional.

Because for a split second, I considered letting go. I just sat with the question a lot of us wrestle with quietly: Is this still worth it?

If you’ve ever built something alongside a full life—career, family, responsibilities—you know that question doesn’t come from laziness. It comes from fatigue. From carrying vision longer than you expected.

Later that evening, I had an interview with Kierra Lanice. And let me tell you something! I was reminded of exactly why this newsletter exists. This weekly check-in is a lifesource for the multi-hyphenates.

Kierra showed up so authentically. She even closed out our conversation with a prayer for our community that I can’t wait to share with you. I’ll be sure to include a clip in next week’s newsletter.

That moment encouraged me so much!

Just in case you are reading this and are closer to quitting than you’re ready to admit, let me encourage you: Don’t do it! You don’t have to decide everything today. But don’t quit in a fog. Don’t walk away just because momentum feels fleeting.

Sometimes it only takes one conversation, one reminder, one person reflecting your work back to you to restore clarity. I’m glad I didn’t quit—because what’s coming next deserves to be shared.

And maybe, just maybe, so does what you’re building too.

Get ready for some Remarkable Mondays in January!

Small acts of consistency compound in ways you can’t always measure in real time, and meaning has a way of revealing itself right when you’re ready to walk away.

See you next Monday,
