I loved reading this. Such a great idea to have kindness folder. I’ve received the odd negative comment of late, and as you say it comes with the territory of becoming more visible, but they are the ones you seem to notice more. So very excited for all that’s to come for you ❤️✨

I often wonder if those who make others feel uncomfortable need the most kindness! Always here if you ever need to offload, and thanks as always for your support. It means a lot 💛

I love this Sarah! Glad you’re better now. I was wondering where you were at the start of the year and thinking maybe the you needed some rest after the big push with the crowdfunder the months prior.

I have a feedback folder and keep adding to it regularly . I don’t have it for substack and should start asap - we all have low days once a while!

The mini zine arrived last week ❤️ ohh was I happy to open the box. I have only skimmed it but will take it on our upcoming holiday.

The club house sounds amazing, I can’t wait xx

Hey Carmen, yeah, the campaign was a lot and something had to give during the fulfilment phase. That thing ended up being writing long-form. I just didn’t have it in me!

So pleased the mini zine arrived and excited for you to dive in on your holiday 🥰💛

Where are you off to?

What a lovely read, and timely! I just received my This Creative Life mini zine and it's gorgeous! I am so excited to sit with a cup of tea and read it cover to cover. I am so inspired by you and your beautiful words. Thank you Sarah!

What a thoughtful comment, Karista! Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time to drop by and let me know you have the zine. I really ought to cosy up with a cuppa and enjoy it myself, especially after all the work that went into it 🤗

This was such a good read. I know it's been a big year but it's amazing what you've managed to pull off and bring together! Excited for Clubhouse but also excited for you to have that season of grounding and mulching down. I think we can easily forget how important a part of the process that is, too! 💜

Also pleased you’re excited for Clubhouse! I’ll be inviting the Playgroup over and think we’ll get a little conversation going from Tuesday. I’m still figuring out where to host the AMA. Chat? Post? Anyway. Looking forward to bedding in for my winter 😆💛

Thanks, Cassie! You’re right…it was an intense year. But one that helped me put a lot of foundations in place, too! So, yeah, time to mulch!

This is so tender and honest. Your reflections on visibility, belonging, and the “gloopy stage” of emergence hit home. Loved the reminder that rest isn’t a reward—it’s part of the rhythm. Thank you for sharing the messy magic behind it all.
