A few weeks ago I posted a video here talking about why I have been away from Youtube. I just meant it to be a bit of a bookmark, a message in a bottle, but you, all of you, made it into something different that I didn’t see coming. Right away I was overwhelmed with a tsunami of support - with commiseration, with an astounding amount of understanding, and with your own stories of being in the same situation.
I’m usually the one who gives pep talks but you out there, in your thoughtful responses that you took the time and effort to send me, gave me the most epic pep talk of all. I am humbled and touched. Please know that you have helped me over some rough patches. This community is the best and I thank each and every one of you for your thoughtfulness and reaching out.
While I have not yet started posting newsletter posts on Ko-fi (oops) I have one ready to go on my laptop and it will be posted on Monday so if you want to read that, go here and follow for free and you’ll receive a notification when that post goes up.
