🌿 Path of Pebbles Community Guidelines

Welcome to Pen Your Past and the Path of Pebbles collection. This space is here for midlife women who want to share real stories and know their words matter. To keep it safe, welcoming, and enjoyable, I ask everyone to follow a few simple guidelines:

✍️ Share Your Own True Story

• This isn’t a place for fiction, ads, or promotions.
• Share your own experiences, big or small, just as you’d want someone to listen to you.

💌 Respect Yourself & Others

• You may publish with your first name, a pen name, or completely anonymously.
• Please remember, stories here may be deeply personal. Treat every writer with care.

🚫 What Not to Submit

• No hate speech, explicit material, or anything intended to harm.
• No sales pitches or links to outside products.
• If I feel a submission doesn’t belong here, I may decline to publish it.

🕊️ Edits & Changes

• I won’t change your words unless you ask me to help with light editing.
• If you ever want your story removed, just email penyourpast@projectimproveme.com.

🌟 A Living Collection

Think of each story as a pebble placed on the path. Some are big, some are small, but all of them matter. Together, they create something beautiful that others can read and walk alongside.
