Iโ€™ll do my best to spread the word because I love this community. I know this had to be hard to write, but thank you for being vulnerable enough to do so. The work you are doing is powerful!

You are so amazing, and honestly this means so much. It was the hardest post I've ever written to be frank.

Your heart, your vulnerability, and your steadfast truth telling has been a beacon in my life for nearly a decade (I've been in your writing courses and subsequent communities almost since they started!) and the community that draws close to that beacon? Is phenomenal. There are many things I will give up before I give up the subscription and support I have here. <3

I feel that way about you and Sarah daily, my friend.

I have never been so proud of your work. The amount of time and care you put into this is incredible and so inspiring. I love your heart and love that you are sharing it with this community, thank you my love. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

I love you so much Lady G. You're the heart behind all this. Always.

Feeling completely raw and vulnerable and emotional today...so this made me cry! Please ask for help ALWAYS. I think the 5% of us that are here probably are willing to do anything to keep this community alive. Even if you need to raise your price, I'm not going anywhere. I'll slash every other subscription but this one. It is a life force. Quite possibly the biggest one sustaining me right now.

Taylor you are, and always have been, such a light. YOU are a life force to us, here, and I hope you see that.

New(ish) subscriber here! I was a subscriber awhile ago but life happened and I had to put a pause on it. Now seems like a great time to be able to support your work again, so thank you for asking and being vulnerable!โ™ฅ๏ธ

SO happy to have you here again! The door is always open!

I hope that your vulnerability leads to lots of new subscribers. I love this community! Itโ€™s supportive and loving and open and weird and rad and thoughtful and unique. It is so hard asking for money for things we create, and so disheartening to pour your heart and soul into your art and then have to justify its material worth. I wish you all the best, and echo the sentiments above that I would find a way to pay more if it meant this community could stay.

I hope so too my friend, I hope so too. We love you, and you're such a huge part of this place.

I cannot quantify the value of this community. I pay more with our shite Canadian dollar, (and I know there are other Canadians out there)- itโ€™s worth every penny. Even so, is it even the crazy price of a frozen pizza each month? Yet SO MUCH more nourishing.

You're so magic. I want it on my biz card that I am more nourishing than a frozen pizza!

Youโ€™re light and love is worth so much more Tyler. Like others, I would definitely be willing to pay more to keep you sharing your beauty with us ๐Ÿ’—

This means worlds and moons, truly. All the support in all the ways, from subscribing to shopping in my little shop, it all helps more than anyone knows.

Sending it right back to you! I really hope this place blossoms!

Quite late. I hope a few hundred people sign up, and if not, I can make a 7$/70$ price increase. (I probably make it sound casual but really 2010, that was bad, as was '94, and '84, and (how could I forget?)87. 5.29 at the pump in ... May? was wild, but getting by.) If it came to it I carry lots of cash in my wallet - I could mail 70$ with a nice card tomorrow for some reason or no reason. You make worry, man!

You're amazing my friend, thank you so much for this. We're all lucky to have you here!

I just subscribed because I think youโ€™re kinda amazing. I donโ€™t know how much of the subscriber perks Iโ€™ll take advantage of, but ... here I am.

I'm so glad I attended the Torchlight gathering on Wednesday! It reignited my want/need to be present in the Chaser community. The pandemic has changed us all. I'm not who I was when it started. I've built so many walls around my mind and heart in the last 4 years. I work and sleep and then do it all over again. I'm hopeful that subscribing and being reminded of the light will cause those walls to crumble and I can get to know myself again.

"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in" ๐Ÿ’›

You're so amazing...I can't double contributions, I think the only thing that can do that is if people Gift subscriptions! Thank you for being here!
