This month marks one year since I started The Nest.
This little hive has evolved a lot in the last year, though I’ve also totally stuck to what I initially planned (younger me who felt anxious about work commitments like this is beaming with pride), and this group has grown so much in the last year! I’ve learned more about what is most valuable to my community, refined my horoscope writing, and really just felt supported in new ways. I have a really difficult relationship with groups, one that is fraught with a lifetime of wounding from injuries that still sometimes recur today, but I feel like I’m sloooowly starting to feel a little more comfortable.
So thank you for being part of that and this, for speaking this language with me, letting me be a human being, and for supporting my work. It means so much.
Starting The Nest has truly been so positive for me. It’s helped me improve my financial situation while doing something I love, given me the freedom to write about what is interesting and inspiring without fighting an algorithm or censorship, and for some uncertain reason it has also loosened up some mental and emotional space for me. I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate every one of my subscribers. Every one of you has helped me to move closer to the life I really want to live, one in which I am able to think and create and physically and figuratively roam, a life in which I can offer what I have to the world without bleeding myself dry.
Here’s to another year of all of us being weird and awake and open.
I hope you’ll stick around for another year!
