📚 The secret life of indie author Vona Stewart.

***Hi friends, this is Kat (@onepinkhippie) again.

***Hi friends, this is Kat (@onepinkhippie) again. Jessica asked me to share her update from the gofundme page. ❤️ She's not ready to jump back into the world of social media and can't reply to folks individually. She still wanted to thank you all. Your love matters.*** My sister-in-law messaged me a few days after Eric’s passing and asked if it would be okay to set up a fundraiser. Already in a tumult of emotions, I didn’t know what to say. I went to find my sisters, who had driven up to help, and asked them what I should do. My baby sister replied, “It’s already taken care of.” They texted my sister-in-law to let her know that this fundraiser was already active, and I sat down hard on the sofa, put my head in my hands, and cried. It’s hard to look back and pick apart all the different emotions I was feeling. Eric had only been gone for a few days. I was making my way through endless phone calls and digging my way through paperwork and emails trying to sort out all the things one has to do when they are abruptly widowed. It’s an uncomfortable thing for me to be in the spotlight anyway, let alone for a sad and terrible thing like this. I didn’t know what to say or how to feel. I struggled with the public nature of death, wanting to wrap up my kids and run out into the night somewhere where we could figure out how to survive this on our own. Plus, an obituary and a public fundraiser meant things I’d worked hard to protect would be public—our names, our city, Eric’s photos (he almost never wanted me to post his picture online). I worried about things on the other end of the spectrum, too, like whether or not anyone would really care, or whether or not we even deserved a fundraiser—weren’t there others out there that needed this more? I couldn’t look at the fundraiser page for a long time, and when I did, I cried some more. I remembered how helpless I felt after a friend and neighbor died in May. I donated what I could. I helped line the streets with green balloons on the morning of her service. But it felt so meaningless and small. I could write loving notes on hearts to paste on her house, but I couldn’t bring her back. Continued in comments......

This is Jessica’s friend Kat. I’m stepping into Jessica's space to post some heart-breaking news for her. 💔 Jessica’s husband Eric died suddenly and unexpectedly on Thanksgiving. *More details in comments.* Eric was an incredibly warm and tender soul who valued and cherished his family over all else. This loss has left a gaping hole in the hearts of his wife and children. The family isn’t ready for visitors right now, but is grateful for texts, emails, and cards. They are stepping back from social media for awhile. They are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support that has already started, but aren’t able to respond to most gestures. If you have specific questions about their needs you are welcome to message me @onepinkhippie . https://www.gofundme.com/f/3hem4s-wiseman-family

Snow in the desert. ❄️ Snapped this on my way home from my #writing retreat. Home in my own bed tonight and fully expect to dream about plot points and word counts. 😴

J’s first time voting! Our votes will matter little in our ultra conservative state, but it felt really good to fill out our ballots anyway. 🥰 #vote2020 #votehimout

Last night of my writing retreat. 😭😭😭 Clocking in at just over 20k words, which may sound super, but isn’t fantastic for me. However, I’m giving myself a break. Post-covid brain fog has been all kinds of challenging, and the hours I put in plotting and planning are important too. Anyway, this sign has been really helpful. Sometimes I gotta give myself permission to stop listening to the perfectionist who lives rent free inside my head. And yes, I need the real Anne Lamont quote cross-stitched and hung above my desk... or tattooed on my face. 😂

Writing week in the mountains with @sunset.heather and @onepinkhippie. Book three is kicking my butt (what else is new). Also, writing with this post-covid fatigue that won’t quit makes me feel like the virus ate all my brain cells. But yay for pretty sunset views from our balcony.
