I'm very new to substack, and coming from a very different life. I wrote this note on my feelings of leaving food blogging, and starting anew.

Ah this is great - you give inspiration! Also, I so so agree with the advice to be generous. Substack is a mixed bag - and generosity always stands out to me.

very nice round up! I have a hard time deciding which ones would be my favourite ones, but I like the ones where I write about my "raw" thoughts

Absolutely 🧡 I think those humanize and connect us in a way other types of notes might not.

I guess we all sometimes need those little sparks of inspiration to remind us what matters most and keep us going. Thanks for sharing this!

Yes! And sometimes all we can either consume or need is that little spark 🔥 Especially when we’re all so busy!

Celebrate our lives 🎉

Sheridan, I love how you got very specific with individual things that we should celebrate that are all part of our lives. It's a great reminder to Celebrate who each of us are individually and what we have to offer in this life.

And to what we can do collectively as well.

Thank you, my dear 🙏

I appreciate you as well.

You are a very good writer. I'm learning to write that's not my "superpower" as some call it on Substack 🦸

I know exactly what you mean, because I often run up against the limits of my writing abilities. It's a constant learning process, no matter how long we've been writing!
