Having known you since those earlier days on Substack, I continue to be impressed by your dedication to this newsletter and to your readers. The growth you've seen and the interaction/support you receive is directly correlated to the true service you provide.

At times, I feel like I'm swimming in a large vat of quicksand while trying to navigate work and life shifts that tug and pull at my desire to create and chronicle life around me. The number of transitions β€” some good, others decidedly not β€” that we go through as humans on a day-to-day basis is staggering when you reflect on it.

And then I look at colleagues like you, figuring out a way to push through it all while evolving to meet those shifts and transitions, and I can't help but be inspired. So, happy birthday, and thank you.

Happy Birthday! Wow, 6 years. Think about how many people you've helped and inspired (including me)

Six years is quite a dedication! And I’m with you: a writing a newsletter is both not work and not not work. I think it’s the feeling that it’s a job while having an actual job.

Sarah, I just wanted to say how much I look forward to your posts every week. There’s something about the way you write that feels both grounding and deeply human. Sort of like sitting down with a thoughtful friend for a conversation. Your posts always leave me feeling a little calmer, wiser, and more seen. Thank you for continuing to share your heart and perspective here. I, too, believe you are doing good!
