There is a lot going on and I love it!! I’ll be thinking of which one to sign up for. I have always been wanting to be more in the writing and book community and these options are the perfect ways to get into them. Thank you for your hard work!

I remember seeing your name pop up in the chat for the first time recently, welcome! After writing this newsletter, I might have to agree with you that I am doing a lot. But they say when you do what you love it never feels like work. I’m so grateful to be in community with you Ekela, I look forward to reading your work!

Hello, sweet girl.

In his work, The Prophet Kahlil Gibran noted: “Work is love made visible.” You are the essence of that visibility.

(and authenticity).

My plan is to jump into Blackstack, No Slack. Alignment only in 2026!

Peace🌻

Thank you.
