Aw I'm very honored to be included in your list of 10, Patrick! Oh my, I'm quiet and shy? 😂 Shy, maybe, but some people have complained that I talk too much, haha. Don't worry, lol, I only block assholes and creeps, and you aren't either!

Wow it's been a wild ride with the Medium boost nomination program. I remember Ossiana's voice notes, too. At the time, I was more conflicted and still wanting to hang onto Medium. But now, eh. Medium just isn't what it once was! Yeah they don't like hearing us complain. Haha I remember that you were one of the few nommers I felt most comfortable venting to. I didn't need to hold back or be polite about Medium, since I knew you felt the same about them, lol.

I’m sorry it’s taken so long to respond but you’re extremely welcome Sieran. I’m so sorry I can’t pronounce your name lol. My wife was like… uh yeah I noticed!!! It’s been a wild ride so far but I’m glad we are still in it together.

It's pronounced "see-air-rin", but I'm not offended if you pronounced it differently haha. Yeah what a wild ride indeed. Is there any hope of Medium improving at all? Or is it just rolling downhill nonstop? Rhetorical question haha.

Thank you so much, Patrick ! I’m honored to be on your list of recommendations 💕💕 It means a lot. And wow among such awesome people too 🙃

I feel the same, you’re one of the few people I read every day.

It’s so great to have your support here, to be able to share all the ideas and adventures we go through, each with three kids, on different continents 🤗

To be partners in crime in this virtual village I’m building, to feel we can share with eachother all the stories we can tell on parenthood (neverending inspiration I would say🫣).

Plus I am also interested in the spiritual side of things, so I’m learning about Tao from your writings.

That’s great to hear! You were already blowing up with subs when I came across your work but it really speaks to me as a parent. Even the stories you tell about being a mom are impactful because they help me to understand my wife better and what my daughters might have to go through one day.

Oh my gosh Patrick, this is SO WONDERFUL!!! Ahhhh I’m so honored to be mentioned here with so many amazing writers and humans. Thank you, thank you—I might need to write something like this. So many people have been there for me as I’ve grown as a writer and publisher, including you! What a wonderful way to honor them/us. 💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you so much Jocelyn. I really feel like if I’m not giving back then I didn’t deserve it to start with. So hopefully this can send a few extra eyeballs their way.
