Yep... I'm a writer and it's so hard to write and earn. My year of subscribing had been wonderful - so worth it to read well researched and well written pieces that come with a ton of heart in them. Thank you!

Thank you so much - that really means a lot. It is so hard isn’t it? I wish it wasn’t so hard because I always think of those whose voices we missed out on because it was too hard x

Thank you, Emily, for providing the only safe place on the internet for mums who just need to be cut a bit of slack sometimes ❤

I get this delivered to me at work. You fall under "other" not "focused". Fitting right? 😏

Thanks for your mahi.

I'm an English teacher and love that not only a writer is someone who writes, but also someone who gets paid to.

Thanks for doing what you keep doing. Thank you particularly for the work you do nurturing and supporting a new group of parents of disabled or medically fragile kids. Us older ones had to deal with the anti-vaxxers and the discrimination, but not on today's scale.

Thank YOU Emily. Your newsletters have helped me so much in this last year. And thanks so much for Awhi Ngā Mātua - it can be very lonely sometimes and it is nice to know there is a community there who understands and can help. ❤️
