- A Colorful Bouquet of Substack Notes & Newsletters 🪻 My Tuesday Collection of "Notes" for You to Discover 𝐎𝐧 a Wednesday!
Hello, dear,
Today, I have a text for you that I love. It’s about feeling good about yourself but having people around you criticize it.
I’ve found myself in a situation like describes in her piece, so I’m sharing her story along with two Notes today.
Enjoy!
The "Notes" feature on Substack gives readers a unique way to explore and engage with their favorite writers on a deeper level. It’s a space to discover quick updates, fresh ideas, and behind-the-scenes moments that might not make it into a full newsletter. You’ll also have the chance to join discussions, comment, and connect with other readers who share your interests.
Every week, I collect my notes and those of other writers and creators so you can explore subjects you enjoy more deeply.

Ask questions, and drop them below. I’ll answer every single one!
Cheers,
