I love that you have reached the point in your journey that you are starting to realize that you don't need another "guru" to lead you. You have the talent and the knowhow......just DO it. And I love the outfit!

I appreciate how you delineated the ways some humans use to dodge getting started. Completely relatable.

My loop tape contains messages like: You never were a writer; you’re not a writer now; who are you kidding; you’re a writer voyeur; what message do I have to share with a shred of value; don’t kid yourself, Mr. Big shot!

I like that you suggested helping and attracting readers one-by-one was an acceptable approach for you.

Here’s a laugh: I rummaged around on Medium years ago then cut ties at least 4 years ago. To this day I receive notices from Medium about my new followers. I need a better algorithm for my life!

All the best in your endeavors today and always.

Your transparency is inspiring. Keep at it--the world needs your words and your creativity. (it even needs your silliness!)

You made me smile! I love the photo and your honest, real words! Thank you so much Linda for being you! I'm truly grateful to know you.

I'm recognizing my fear more and more these days and leaning in. What's the worst that can happen? This question helps me when I'm afraid to ship or share. And folks like you to keep me going.

Wise words, and reflection, I'm being bombarded with opportunities to change my life and start 2024 as a new man. I don't need another regime, I have the tools, just need to the discipline to keep going.
