Happy 6 Months, MindForge!!! 💛🩵
I wanted to take the time to thank YOU. Specifically YOU. For helping us keep our doors open these past six months. For graciously spending YOUR limited time, resources, and energy here.
When I started this, I had this intense fear that I got it wrong. In a time when we have less time, less money, and less energy than ever before, would anyone choose to spend a precious amount of that here? When everything is competing to be cheaper, easier, faster, would people choose to slow down? To make room for this—for themselves, for their family, for their community?
To be honest, I still have that fear EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
This venture is not for the faint of heart. And blood, sweat, tears, and SO SO SO much of myself poured into it later, I still ask myself… what was I thinking?
Then you walk in.
And I go—this is why. This moment right here.
And I wanted to thank you.
Thank you for letting me be a tiny part of your life. Thank you for bringing your time, personality, light, and energy here. Thank you for slowing down. For making room in your life for these moments. For making this place better simply by being YOU.
You deserve a place where you feel welcomed. Wanted. Appreciated. Where you can be exactly who you are. The more I get to know you, the more deeply I feel that.
When you share your story with me, I am honored. And I am always floored. We each have SO much more to us. So much more story than the people around us usually ever know or realize. So much we carry. And SO SO much beauty.
You are the light in this place. The reason we get to celebrate six months today.
Thank you for all of this. For these six months. For letting MindForge be a little part of your world—and for becoming such a big part of mine. 💛
