Love the story behind your publication name! And I also love a Substack post about celebration rather than statistics. Happy anniversary(ish) 💛

Happy Anniversary! What stuck with me really was the part about blogging and that you're writing here for a different reason. I've been blogging for years (and still have a small blog on my website for your mentioned reasons), but while it was also fun, it never felt as wholeheartedly good as writing on here. It's the reason why I came here; to have a place where I can simply write the way I want to. Really great to learn about your journey on substack 😊

This is so beautiful Emily. And just what I needed to read right now, having just dipped my toe into Substack myself and, like you did, have absolutely no idea about what I'm doing! Just following my nose and seeing where it leads me and what feels right. Hopefully I'll still be here in a years time to celebrate an anniversary of sorts! So happy I found you over here - happy anniversaire! Nix

Ahh Emily, this is the perfect celebration of all you’ve done.. and you know what, I think a silly dance is more than acceptable.. remember that note that went a little bit viral..? I’d have danced for a week if that had been me..! You are a breath of fresh magic air and I love that you’re here and that you share your heart and you gorgeous creations with us..! Here’s to another year of happy letters and Notes..! I can’t wait to see what you send ♥️✨xxx

Congratulations on your very specific, precise, and exact anniversary, Emily! 🤣 So glad to be able to hear the story of how it all began - and a little nervous about all the apocalyptic misadventures that might be coming for the rest of us while you are drawing...

Thanks and congrats Emily, for the milestone--yours, and for the reminder that beauty, creativity, and imagination need to be celebrated. My first read of the day. Before getting out of bed!

Happy Anniversary! So cool to learn about how your substack came into being, a little bit at a time, sort of like a little drawing, or a story - line by line.
