Celebrating 4 years on Medium — It will soon be 4 years since I started writing on Medium. I was in before there was a subscription and initially Medium promoted my stories which probably explains the higher ratings up until 2018.

The benefits of disconnecting from the familiar

A retreat provides such an opportunity — I need to disconnect from most things except the essentials every seven weeks or so.

Rather than go…
