Great edition, Karena. I agree with John, the travel content is awesome.

I love the idea of being happy with enough and shipping, rather than getting caught up on perfection and not sharing at all. We're all human and life happens, so if we want to be consistent as writers, we're going to have to show up some weeks where we're operating to 90% (or lower).

This was so good: "The best idea can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time."

Thanks for sharing! Your 90% still impresses me :)

Tommy! Thank you. Living with a perfectionist mother, being born Virgo, I've had to work really hard to overcome the ship 10% imperfect hurdle.

I'm glad you share my perspective. And I appreciate you telling me so.

Loving the travel content, Karena! Great tagline: "Better 90% perfect and published, over 100% unsaid". I tell my mentees something similar regarding incorporating feedback: feedback is important, but it shouldn't hold you back from publishing. That's a worse outcome than going ahead and posting something that's 'good enough' without feedback.

You almost didn't get photos, John. I had a mini stroke when I "lost" access to my photos, while trying to delete photos to make space for more. I was inspired to add some scenic photos by travellers such as yourself and Leo!

You are great mentor.
