Published: February 28th 2025, 5:17:44 pm
Fab Friends! It's already nearing spring, and I seriously cannot wait. Wherever you are, I hope that you are taking care of yourselves. I've been...well, I'll get into that later, but first, MARCH STICKERS!! And this month's theme deserves a little bit more introduction than usual because they're extra-special!
Those of you who've been around for a while (you know who you are, and I know who you are, but what you don't know is how much I appreciate your being here for so long!) might remember that a couple years ago, the March stickers featured some Fab Femmes to celebrate International Women's Month! It was obviously really difficult to pick only 6 noteworthy women in history, so I fully intended to do more of these, ideally on a yearly basis. Obviously I didn't manage to get to it last year, but this year I decided to really go digging for some amazing women to highlight and managed to finally make a decision -- but heck, it was HARD!
So with that, it's my great honour to present: Fab Femmes pt 2, featuring Jane Austen, Mary Seacole, Frida Kahlo, Wangarĩ Maathai, Rosalind Franklin, and Bessie Coleman! (Or as my layers are called, Jane Pingsten, Mary Buncole, Frida Bunlo, Pingarĩ Maathai, Rosaping Franklin, and Bunnie Coleman because of course I did lol.) Some of these you might know, and some you might not! I certainly learned about some of these spectacular people while researching for this and I couldn't wait to share them with you.
If you'd like to get the sticker sheet and postcard, OR the individual sticker, please adjust to the appropriate tier by 15th March! And don't forget, you can now also gift memberships! The postcards will actually be featuring little snippets about each of these wonderful women, but I highly encourage you to also please check out more information about them as well because they are seriously fascinating.
And now for the rambling part about what's going on with me in this coming month. ⬇️ (Feel free to skip everything below!)
Admittedly, the past few weeks (maybe even the entire month of February...) have been really rough on me. It felt like things kept happening, and while they weren't in and of themselves significant, the apparent onslaught and continued occurrences started to add up. I was already feeling the Depresso sneaking back, so all those little tiny irritants just exacerbated the whole situation. Without going into too much unnecessary detail, I was pretty much KO'd for a good while. Remember when I said I was doing pretty well with my weekly schedule? Well that definitely went out the window lololol. Still, despite everything, I exist. And that's pretty much all there is, isn't it? Existing, and doing the next thing to continue doing so. And so I am slowly, gradually trying to do the next thing that needs to be done. (Side note: I will probably have an even longer rambling post about this later.)
This time last year, I had been starting to do in-person workshops locally and I was super excited for that new venture. However...life has its own plans, and the venue I had been working with unfortunately shut down. I was still thinking of looking at other venues to continue on, but never really got around to it. But I am thinking that now is the time to get back into that. So the plan is to start scoping around for other venues for doing such workshops, and potentially even altering the format a bit to make it work better for the environment. We will see how that goes anyway, but having this to focus on will, hopefully, allow me to keep my eyes on something that isn't so nebulous as the other things.
If things go well, this might also allow for me to try bringing it online as well. I had also started trying to do some workshop-like videos last year with the help of you amazing Shining Stars, but that also fell by the wayside... But maybe it just wasn't the right time then. Of course, I'll let you know if I do decide to continue with that, because I wouldn't be doing any of this in the first place if it wasn't for your support. It might be a bit more focused though, and I may try some new things to make it a bit more interactive than before though. At any rate, stay tuned for that!
In the meantime, of course, I'm going to keep making more videos and shorts for YouTube. I actually recently hit a milestone and now have over 100 subscribers?! 😱 It may be rookie numbers in the grand scheme of the 'Tubes, but that's a lot of people considering I've only just started out, and I am so grateful for each and every one! Maybe someday I'll reach 500? Maybe. 😅
I know I say this every time, but I seriously, seriously cannot thank each and every one of you enough. Times are difficult all around, the world is on fire, but still we exist, and by helping each other we can continue onward, no matter what comes next. So thank you for being here with me and for all your support.💖
P.S. How do you like this new format?! I think it is so much cleaner, don't you? :D
