Welcome back to another episode, everybody. Now, today I actually have, an update to give about this segment of the podcast. So this has been called Your Friday five. It was just some quick hits of things that I was thinking about or additional information that I wanted to get out that. Maybe I didn't have an opportunity on the Monday, the sort of regular podcast to get out. But what I'm gonna do here, this is gonna be the last episode for a little period here, so I'm gonna have this segment go on hiatus. I think that the quick hits that I wanted to get out there, I really feel that it's complete at this moment. So I think we can consider season one having happened and then I suspect in a few months, maybe fall time. We'll see when that is, that I would pick up season two, because there's always. Things that build up that I wanna share. But I have some really big projects coming up in 2026 and when I'm working on that, I really need my creative energy for some of those. And it's really hard when you're, making podcasts and things like that. I talk a lot about this on the podcast, that there's a seasonality in life when you have different seasons, when you're giving different energy to different things. And so I just felt that this particular segment could just take a little bit of a rest. Right now, I was talking to a friend about this and she talked about with creative projects, she said, you need a fallow period. And I was like. What is that? Now, hopefully I'm saying this right, but this is a term that's used in agriculture and loosely defined. You leave a field that's left uns own for a period in order to restore its fertility as part of a crop rotation, and so helps with the nutrients, helps. Just think restoration. That's always the word that I think of, but that's really beautiful, right? That there's some rest that's needed there. The plants need to get that energy and the nutrients back and then they're good to go again. I'm gonna put a little pin in this your Friday five and we'll continue to have the amazing Monday episodes and I'm gonna continue to love to answer all your questions and do all of that, but we're just not gonna have two episodes per week for a period here. Alright? I hope that you all have a great. Starting of February. Wow. And we'll talk soon.
