Octavia, my love - you've brought me to tears - with THE biggest smile on my face!!!!!
Thank you so, so much for your incredibly beautiful comments about me and my publication!!!!! After what happened today and feeling like I have to stop tagging and sharing everyone's work - and losing a huge part of what I most love about HHH - I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate what you said.
It would have been such a horrible thing for Medium to shut me down for doing something that was only intended to be supportive and helpful. I feel like there's a big hole in my life where the sharing part of HHH has been for the past few years (minus the 'time out' I had for a while with moving to Canada and then injuring my leg).
So here I am, feeling down and sad and not sure how this is going to feel for HHH and our Pub Family, upset about losing a big piece of what has kept everyone connected - and because of the threat of being accused of something hurtful - and then you come along and talk about how safe a space HHH is! What a beautiful gift! I needed this more than you could know!
In fact, I'm guessing you knew it's exactly what I needed after what I wrote about this.
Thank you for your sensitivity and kindness, for stepping up and "actively listening" and for "cheerleading" and offering lots of the goodies on your beautiful list in this piece.
I am so grateful to you, and sending you the biggest hug right now!!!!!!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
