Low key obsessed with you, Dani. Maybe not even low key. Actually not low key.

Ash, I would not be a writer without you. But even more important, I wouldn't have made it here at all without you. You're my best friend.

I’ve been here as a non-paid subscriber and have been reading what is available right now- the line you wrote about knowing you’ll lose readership is why I’m commenting. I had twin boys a few months ago and brought them home to a one year old sister and a three year old brother. Money is super tight since I had to step away from my job with these unexpected blessings. I can’t afford to pay right now but know that I am here for every word otherwise and you haven’t lost this member of your readership, for what it’s worth. Your perspective on parenting large families has been immensely helpful to me and I listen, on repeat, to your answer on the coffee + crumbs podcast where you talk about how you can’t meet all your kids needs all the time and that it’s alright. Turns out parenting a lot of really, REALLY young children is wildly difficult. I need encouragement from women who have been there (in their own unique situations).

I look forward to the day where I can monetarily support you but know I’m here for the sidelines cheering you on! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and time with us all.

Katie, I read this message again today and was reminded of how I felt when I read it the day it arrived in my email box. I hung on your every word and signed up as a subscriber as quickly as I could. I am in awe of your pursuit of your craft, the talent you want to share and the dedication you have to your family. I will be here reading each and every story and essay and cheering you on as a fellow wife, mother and woman that is excited to be a part of your community.

Katie—you changed my trajectory as a writer. I went from timid to ardent creative because of you.

Here for all of it. 💕
