How did i get so lucky?
My stunning Momma as a newlywed with her sweet puppy. Beautiful, right?
After two and a half years of getting to know you sweet souls, I shouldn’t be surprised when you show up for me- again - and remind me of all the glorious goodness in the world. But I always am surprised. Yesterday I posted links to a survey, asking some questions I’ve been arm wrestling with for months. I was afraid no one would answer. I was afraid some folks would answer and be mean. I was afraid you would tell me it’s time to throw in the towel. I’m so sorry I underestimated you.
You have, once again, given me an infusion of excitement and encouragement and so much love. I adore you all.
So here’s the sitch: I’ve decided to create a place here on the website for donations to help with the cost of shipping the gnomes. Squarespace makes things super secure and it’s all encrypted so no one will see or sell your information. All I’ll have access to is your name and email. I’m set up to receive donations through PayPal, and credit and debit cards through Stripe, as well as Apple Pay. Please know that I have no expectations and I know life is crazy for some of us at the moment and I will Big H- Heart you forever no matter what.
Another area of inquiry was Stab ‘n Gab. I think I super overestimated my ability to keep it together during our move. I let some of you down and I’m so sorry. Your answers to these questions in the survey were really valuable. I’m setting up a new schedule for us, and I’ll have a dedicated SNG post this week on Thursday. If you’re thinking, “Stab ‘n Gab? What the corn feathered leather tiara is that?” I’ll answer all your questions on Thursday.
Lastly, May the first my sweet Momma had been gone for fifty years. Navigating every new stage of my life without a mom or a mom-figure has felt like a giant hole right at the center of my being. But somehow, the fifty year mark hit me harder than ever before and I have been struggling. Your kind words and affirming thoughts and loving advice are bringing me to tears all over again as I type this. Thank you for opening your hearts to me. Momma would love you all so much.
