I want to say thank you to the people who support what I do here. I read what you send - the notes, the messages, and the observations you share. I can’t always respond to each one, but please know that I see them; and they mean more to me than I can properly put into words.

I am especially grateful to those who support this financially. That support is what makes it possible to move carefully, to not rush through the hard parts, or skip the digging that actually matters. It truly is what allows me to follow things all the way through.

I have also noticed that many of you (particularly among paid subscribers) are women. That rocks. I love you guys so much, and I don't take any of this for granted.

I just wanted to name that clearly and to say thank you.
