March 2024 Update: Progress and Reflections on Personal Growth
Written on
Chapter 1: The Arrival of Spring
As spring unfolds, we find ourselves nearing the end of the first quarter of 2024. Time seems to fly, reminding us that patience is essential, especially when waiting for progress to manifest.
The adventure of bold writing and self-discovery is ongoing. This month, I’ve been privileged to receive constructive feedback from esteemed writers on Medium, which I view as an invaluable opportunity for growth.
At times, we must confront challenges head-on to pave the way for easier times ahead. It’s interesting how some creative endeavors can be enjoyable and approached with a sense of lightness, often referred to as being in a state of ‘flow’.
My Medium follower count stands at 3,153 this month. It’s the first dip since 2020, yet I remain focused on my goal of reaching 4,000 followers. Progress is a journey; even the steepest climbs can become manageable with steady, deliberate steps.
My Substack newsletter, "Rosaswalksoflife," has gained 208 subscribers. In today’s world, where information is abundant, I strive to cut through the chaos with consistency, becoming a familiar presence in my subscribers’ digital lives.
I cherish the opportunity to express my creativity and connect with my readers. I am deeply thankful for everyone who has subscribed, shared, and supported my work.
March has been hectic as I finalize significant life changes. Though exercising has been challenging, I’ve recognized the importance and made an effort, especially with the favorable weather. This month, I’ve walked 34 miles, enjoyed a 14-mile bike ride, and engaged in four yoga sessions at home.
My favorite reads from fellow Medium writers this month include:
- The Key to Happiness in Middle Age and Beyond
- You’re Not Dreaming Big Enough
- Would You Share Your Deepest Secrets with Strangers?
I want to acknowledge the inspiring writers whose work I consistently follow: Henry India Holden, Jamel Hendley, Ali Alzahrani, Jessey Anthony, Chaudhry Writes, Annelise Lords, Rui Alves, and many more.

As I navigate through these transformative times, I've learned that the pursuit of self-improvement is not a solitary journey; it’s shared with others who inspire and challenge us.
