This feels so true to what I've been finding here and doing here! I have heard two wise and beautiful souls say often that "we have to put ourselves in the way of a little bit of magic". That's why I'm here. I write what I love and love what I write and that is enough. I started writing on substack because things took an unexpected turn in my business and I didn't want to lose the connection with my small email list, but sending email marketing and writing blogs and newsletters through my website marketing platform about products and commissions just wasn't right anymore. I have that little voice that craves the big numbers and wishes substack could be decent revenue stream, and maybe that will happen with time and growth, but for now, I tell the voice that I'm here because I love the creativity, connection, community and conversation. And that is enough. If people also love the words and pictures that I share, then that's an unexpected extra.

Yes, I totally agree with you. Other platforms have bled us of every drop of creativity and enthusiasm while here I get to connect with like-minded souls again and that's simply priceless.

What a beautiful quote- we have to put ourselves in the way of a little bit of magic.

So damn inti that.

Also love that you’re being present with where you’re at (being enough) and still holding a beautiful vision for what’s possible here for you too x

Thank you Kat, the quote is from Jen and Sara on a previously podcast 💛 I remind myself every time I share something. Because you never know when and where you might stumble across it x
