Thank you all

I am sitting here so overwhelmed with gratitude. It’s such a privilege to be surrounded by a community as kind and loving as this one. Your words have shifted my heart and mindset in the most profound way. reminding me that I am loved, that I am cared for, and that mistakes don’t make me unworthy of chances to move forward with growth, love, community, and compassion.

Sometimes we need loved ones to plant seeds within us. Seeds we sit with quietly until they take root and help us grow. That is what you’ve done for me. You’ve planted love, light, and perspective that I will carry with me moving forward.

Thank you for holding me, for guiding me back out of the dark towards love and light, and for reminding me of what truly matters. I am choosing to nurture only the love and positivity you’ve given me, and it’s already making shifts and impacts.

Over these past few days, I’ve been reminded of something important: this platform, this space, is one we’ve built together, but I am the one who holds the creative reins as well. It is my privilege to create here, and it is my responsibility to keep our community rooted in kindness, respect, and love.

I have spent too much of my life being codependent, allowing patterns of behavior that were never acceptable, and not always communicating the boundaries I should have. That has sometimes left room for people to believe that “honesty” which is actually just one being snarky or unkind ….a wolf in sheep’s clothing if you will. But I know now that disrespect is not honesty, and setting boundaries is not silencing someone or “mean” as many love to label me. The truth is when a woman speaks and is firm, She is labeled a bitch and this is not unique to me. This is an unfortunate universal experience for many women around the world.

I will no longer allow negative energy to take root here. If someone chooses to be disrespectful, they are choosing to remove themselves from our community. No one gets to demand my energy or diminish what we are building together. or have the wild expectation they can say awful things about this community on other platforms and still get to be apart of this space.

This community is about love, creativity, comfort, and care. Your words over the last few days have reminded me of that and reminded me of the deep privilege it is to share this journey with you. Thank you for being the light that makes this space what it is. you are so beyond loved
