Dear Friends,
As I reflect on this journey of writing and sharing with you, I’m filled with gratitude. Your support, whether through reading, commenting, or simply being a part of this community, means the world to me. The conversations we’ve had, both in public and private, continue to enrich me greatly. Thank you for being here.
Today, I want to share something a little different from my usual posts. I make a point to keep my writing accessible to everyone, offering it free of charge. I’ve chosen to remain outside of paid platforms like Substack so that these words can remain fully accessible. This is something I feel strongly about, and I plan to continue.
However, once a year, I open a small window for those who might like to offer support. If you’ve found something meaningful in what I share and feel moved to do so, I’d be deeply grateful for a small contribution through PayPal (link below). Your support helps cover the costs of maintaining this site and ensures that I can keep the content coming. Or, you can think of it as treating me to a coffee (or a few!)—a small gesture to show your appreciation, should you feel inclined. Please know that this is entirely optional, and there is no expectation. Your presence here is more than enough.
If you choose to contribute, you can do so here.
Again, thank you for being a part of this community. I’m so fortunate to share this space with all of you, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.
With appreciation,
Renee
