Hi Reader,

Yesterday was… not my best day.

If you got a weird “test” email or a video link that didn’t work—yep, that was me. (Well, me and the assistant I was trying to train.) I’ve been working on hiring help to free up more time… but clearly, I chose the wrong person. She sent a test message to my entire list.

My inbox blew up. And honestly? I’m glad it did. Your replies reminded me that you’re actually out there reading—and rooting for me. Thank you.

On top of that, I’m in the middle of major (and expensive) home repairs. I live in a duplex and rent out the other half, but right now there’s tension with my tenant because of the construction. It’s been a lot.

And then—because of course everything happens at once—my piano tuner showed up. He’s lovely, but when he’s working, I can’t work. My whole routine got thrown off. When he finished and said he wasn’t going to charge me—because he knows how hard things have been—I burst into tears. In front of him. It was mortifying.

So when the broken emails went out on top of all that, it felt like too much.

The irony? That same day, someone in my piano community had asked me how to recover from mistakes during performance. We talked about it in our live Q&A this morning, and I realized… that’s actually something I do know how to handle.

So today I sat down and made two videos—one about editing (coming tomorrow), and one clip from our Q&A about what to do when things go wrong in performance.

Turns out, whether it’s performance or marketing, progress takes time, compassion, and a little grace.

Thanks for sticking with me through it all.

Warmly,

Rebecca
