I cannot say it any better than you have. Thank you Caroline. Your subscription is one of the only push notifications I have on my phone and something I always say YES with joy to open. Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom and art through your writing.
A simple note about my reason for subscribing to your newsletter. It is all about beautiful, heartfelt, descriptive sentences, hence powerful stories. It has never been about how often the stories come but about the clarity of voice. Thank you for all that you bring to my days! ♥️
Honestly it’s so refreshing to get a newsletter that comes at the pace of life, rather than a prescribed schedule. One of the many reasons I subscribe! Cannot wait for EBC ✨
Oh my goodness. Substack needs a metric to measure VALUE! Can they measure the degree to which a subscriber feels lucky when a newsletter lands? Can they tell how many times a subscriber re-reads the letter? How many eyes well up with tears as they read? I don't know how it happened that your newsletter was the very first thing I came across on Substack (i subscribed immediately, but if it's the results of manifestation, I'm all in, and keen to learn more. What a perfect choice for the EBC, and what a perfect card to take into this week. Thank you. X
Heather, this is the kindest comment. (One of the nicest I've ever read!) You said it perfectly re value, and I feel the same! I may not be at the top of the Substack leaderboard where revenue is concerned, but my goodness, do I have the best subscribers. And that is worth everything. Thank you for being here. I'm grateful.
Your writings come exactly when they are meant to come. I am so grateful for your writing. It is a constant reminder that we are not here in isolation. I find parts of myself in all of your words and it is reassuring and validating. Often times, they save me...from the pressure and expectation. And life never happens on a schedule...it unfolds organically. Thank you for letting me be a part of all of it.
I'm sure it was a) automated (I've heard from a couple others who received the same) and b) meant well (assume positive intent?) but that did not make it less irksome. The book, on the other hand, ACTUALLY helps!
Can I tell you how much I love you for linking to Bookshop.org? 🙏🏼❤️ I've got MIND MAGIC on my library wait list. My place is literally (literarily?) too small for another book. And I've jumped the shark to audiobooks. I can "read" those while I'm driving. So happy Miranda July is reading ALL FOURS. So, unless I get lucky (and manifest well), I might be a little behind in "reading", because it's not due to arrive for 6 weeks. LOL. Let's see if I can make it happen. You rule, Caroline. Contraction happens before expansion. Get ready to grow again. xo
I used to link books to multiple retailers (with Bookshop listed first and Amazon linked to text reading "via Satan") because I know many people do click and buy from there regardless of where I link...but at this moment, I just CANNOT. And I hear you on lacking the space for (more) books. The good thing about this selection is it's not at all plot-based and contains no spoilers, so if it takes a while to show up you can still join the chat without worry that it will ruin your experience! I'll try to provide quotes and context so everyone is up to speed.
A bunch of online reviews were all, "The author may want to rethink the use of profanity in the opening line!" Which of course only made me love it more.
Excited about EBC! And totally agree that we should be moving away from measuring self-worth only in regards to how well capitalism works for us. I also agree it’s privileged to say that because money is important and especially to any one who freelances. But it’s refreshing anyone someone admits they are struggling to make meaning and find value outside of just a monetary system!

Sharon, this comment made me cry (in the good way). Thank you so much for these words, and for being here.
+1 to the “always yes” for this subscription - same here!
Yes with JOY! +2 now.
Yes! My inner voice always says, Oh Boy! When I see you’ve shared a newsletter!
Thank you! I love this community so much.
Count me in on the plus too!!
Fuck Substack’s Department of Letters. And I’m so excited for the book club!
Hahaha, you are the best.
Ditto!

Thank you, Laurie. I so value your presence here.

It’s so easy to approach growth from a place of “lack” rather than “abundance.”
“…true growth is a process by which we become even more of who we are.”
Thank you Caroline for helping us to see that we are already magnificent as we deepen and grow into aspects of ourselves.
Thank you, James.
Bought the book and am looking forward to it.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us. 🩵
So happy to hear it!

I love this newsletter 💛 Ordering Mind Magic now ✨
Thank you, Meg! Excited to hear it.
I am SO HERE for this book (and SO NOT HERE for that email…like, genuinely who at Substack thought that was helpful to send out to writers?!).
I'm sure it was a) automated (I've heard from a couple others who received the same) and b) meant well (assume positive intent?) but that did not make it less irksome. The book, on the other hand, ACTUALLY helps!
Cheers to things that ACTUALLY help! 🥂

My book has arrived, and the opening line has me hooked: The universe doesn't give a fuck about you.
So into this choice.

I really enjoyed todays letter and totally loved the reading. Thank you for so expertly putting into words exactly what I am needing to hear.
Thank you, Dorothee. I'm so happy it resonated with you.
Always love your newsletters. They are unlike any other. Excited for the book club!
Thank you so much!
