My journey on Substack this past 15 months or so has been filled with awesomeness. I have learned a great deal about life by following extraordinary writers I would never have discovered without the generous sharing from the community - amazing souls like you, Holly! Thanks for your positive contribution to this world...

Thank you for mentioning Finding Home- that is incredibly generous of you. And I'm in great company - love the other Substacks you recommend as well, especially Chirp and Moo! Here's to a wonderful year! Can't wait to see what 2023 brings! xo

Happy half birthday! Thanks for the shoutout Holly! I'll have to check out all the links to see if there's anything else I can subscribe to. There are so many great writers on here.

Nice! And I love the graphic you made listing the different posts. I’m at 7 months myself so I feel a kinship, like we are in the same grade at Substack school!

Happy half birthday, Holly! I thought you had been at this way longer, which is just a testament to your newsletter! Also: love the digital magazine rack analogy. I'm so happy to have found you so quickly. And thanks for the very kind mention!

I love Release and Gather! What a friend I have found in you...we are states and states away from one another-never met in person, but through the written word and shared tender hearts. Thank you for the "Shout Out". Now, how did you know I needed that this morning?! Because you are a kindred spirit. Write on, Holly!

Some new ones to check out. Already my Substack is overstacked for what I can read... but I'm picking and choosing along the way. Thanks for the recommendations to look into!

Happy half birthday to Release and Gather! Lovely post, Holly - and thanks so much for the shout-out! Am grateful to have been second-time lucky on that 'Subscribe' button! 🤣

I've really enjoyed exploring this round-up - it's over this time period that I've been getting to know you and your writing, and your posts are delightful reads, all of them. Here's to the next six months and beyooooond....! 😊
