Thank You All!
I am truly humbled
In these dark days sometimes I think we need to reach out for any glimmer of hope that we can.
Today I was notified by Substack that I am now considered a bestseller. I think it means that I have now reached the milestone of one hundred paid subscribers.
When I started this newsletter, I was just doing it to get some thoughts off my chest and perhaps make a couple bucks.
I did it mainly because I felt it was the most healthy way for me to process so many difficult feelings about the current political situation that we find ourselves in.
What I found instead was a community of people that think a lot like me. I found friends from all over the globe. Four thousand people get my newsletter every day. I am inspired on a daily basis and continue to write because of your encouragement and understanding.
I also read as many other writers as I can, which helps push me to improve my work just by reading their content.
Your wonderful and honest opinions in my comment sections drive me. You inspire me to put out more work. In addition you make me want to improve my articles.
When going back and reading my early articles, and comparing them to today, it feels a little embarrassing. Thanks to your support, you continued to appreciate my writing and in so doing helped me improve. I so appreciate you joining me on this journey.
So once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't have done it without you!
Love you guys.
Erik


It's refreshing to read someone's work without getting all upset about the "bias". You seem to be handling that part of the job extremely well. Keep up the great work. We all love it, or we wouldn't be reading it. Sorry I can't afford a paid subscription, but maybe later in the year that can happen.
You’re doing great work these days my friend! Don’t stop…we little people need you 💕
