Such a comfort to read that not everyone needs the New Me of the new year. “I’m craving the thing that’s just right for me” really resonates with me. In the past I’ve been desperate to move onto a new project but recently I re knitted the bottom half of a sweater twice until it properly fitted. Now I know I shall wear it for a long time rather than it end up at the back of a drawer. What a revelation!

I enjoyed your take on January and this continuing to be the season of rest and recovery. Your preorder shades of blue yarn completely have the winter vibe.

Replying to the survey here because the survey doesn’t contain the choices I need. I am a fixed income retiree. I value your writing and your take on the world, and the values you embody and enact in your making, in your business, and in your writing. Your newsletter makes my life better. I think you deserve to be paid for your writing. Yet, I am unable to become a paid subscriber.

At this point, I allocate discretionary media spending to a newsletter with information that helps keep me alive, Your Local Epidemiologist, and on media that is teaching me a specific skill, spinning. That's as far as the checkbook stretches. So, while all your survey categories would be interesting, they fall into a category of totally delightful to be able to partake of while I can for free.

I have limited contact with Substack and had no idea that there was an issue with hate speech and Nazi propaganda. I was considering rebirthing a long neglected blog on this platform. I'll have to seriously reconsider that move. Thank you for making me aware of the issue.
