Yay!!!!! I'm already feeling the magic of this iteration of Curious & Kind. When I pressed play on your video, all the noise that was going on in my space just stopped. Literally, the volume on tvs went silent. (Noise in crowded neighborhoods is ubiquitous in El Salvador and quiet moments very rare.) Your voice rang through this space here thousands and thousands of miles away and everything hushed to listen. I cried because I feel so happy for you and so grateful to watch/listen to you sing as you blessed your space. And now just as I am finishing writing this the noises all came back on! Blessings on you and this next adventure!

Oh. Wow.

The description of that quiet moment.

I’m crying thinking about how really interconnected all of us could be, and how grateful I am to share a universe with you.

Thank you for your blessings!

I do feel so held by your moment of quiet.

I hope that is what Curious & Kind can be. A calm for those seeking calm, and gentle exchanging of stories and moments…

And…thank you 💖

Oh my goodness! If you do come visit, and you’re comfortable staying in people’s houses, you are welcome to come crash at my house for a couple of days so you can properly explore the area too!

This dream is for all us magical space keepers.

Oh my goodness, this is the most wonderful news, Wake. I am over the rainbow for you. “And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”. Honestly perfectly wonderfully beautiful. I’m so excited for you and I will visit in spirit and through this inter-dimensional portal of Substack.

Ah! Thank you Emily!

Honestly being part of the inter-dimensional portal full of artists, writers and creative humans has been the think keeping me afloat, and reminding me that dreams really can come true when you work whole heartedly towards them.

I’m going to bring the wondrous frogs that @Tamsin made to the space, so no doubt Floella will be receiving words from the magical innards of Curious & Kind!

Thank you for showing me that small magics (even with finances) are possible and it’s okay to be scared but to forge ahead.

I love you! I hope someday you can come visit this space, though no matter what there will be beautiful echoes of you and the rogues here.

Thank you for believing that this was possible, even when I couldn’t. 💖💖💖

Ahhhhh! Yes!!!!!!!!!

Also your singing is gorgeous. I sang along a bit but can’t hit the notes in two parts of that song not that it stops me from trying but also I think people should sing whenever they feel like it because it’s so joyful and one of my staff was singing yesterday and it was great and made me happy.

Thank you for that start to the day. It’s going to be a great one 🤗

I would love to sing with you in the space. We can find a song that suits both our voices. Singing is one of my oldest joys.

Can I show you the space soon? 💖💖💖
