Okay, I have now read all of these essays, most of which I have read before, and it’s like taking a long walk with an old friend. I don’t need to say anything and you just get me. Thank you, Holly, for being you and writing about it all. ❤️❤️❤️
welp there's more coming lol. It is weird going back over them. I've got like hundreds of published and unpublished; an odd record to have of oneself. Love you.
It has been too long. As a woman I am taught to put others before myself. Fuck it. I come first. You come first. Never put our self worth into anyone else's hands. Holly-you are so loved and missed. Thank you for sharing a bit of your recent revelations. I used to cry when I read your affirmations. Today it happened again. Sending a huge, tight hug your way.
Honored to share this space with YOU Holly & this group!
Reflecting on my greatest challenges of 2021 Identifying the circumstances that caused me the most difficulty. First focusing on the External factors i.e., relationships, health, work, career, financial….Writing unpacking the specifics about it. Doing the same with my greatest Internal challenges in 2021. Things I struggled —i.e. Fear, Anxiety, sadness, anger, regret, loneliness, doubt. Identifying the External & Internal can be, but don’t need to be related. Identifying, Reflecting on the External & Internal will help guide me into this New Year. Feeling the struggle of 2021 allows me to work through it & Let go. Live Learn Teach show compassion to myself & others. Gratitude is my attitude. Om Shanti #Bekindalways #t1d #mentalhealth #choosewisely #trauma #openheart #thankful #gratefulheart
YES. "Feeling the struggle of 2021 allows me to work through it & Let go." It's been heavy and feeling it and being with it and honoring it has been part of it, and now, setting it down and walking into the new. I have no idea what this year will bring, but I'm here for it. Love you so much and so happy you're here. xx
So glad to have found you again. It was your voice I connected with on Hip Sobriety because I see you in me and me in you. I don't want you to be perfect. I want you to be exactly who you are. I really miss you on Tempest. I have a really hard time to connect with all these new faces and their voice is so far from my voice. I'm really trying, but I don't see myself in them at all. I miss your videos, I miss your emails. I miss you! I wish you a wonderful 2022 and want to thank you for all that you have done for me!
I’m happy to be a part of this community and am thankful to Holly for her writing and vulnerability. I am a psychotherapist, have been looking for something to pass on to my female clients that doesn’t feel forced or preachy, and I am happy to say that my copy of your book has reached its second pair of hands. (I had to order another copy for myself, of course.) I look forward to all the things you’re putting out there!
I was so happy to receive your newsletter. I saved it for 2 days before reading it. Funny, I’ve never thought of you as anything but fully human and fallible and wonderful. You taught me this was a thing. To be all of it. So pleased to hear your voice again. Thanks Holly. X
But that John Mulaney Back to the Future bit IS hilarious though - your family missed out! Was so excited to see your newsletter in my inbox - happy 2022, Holly! <3
So good to hear your voice again. You are like that camp counselor that you had as a kid, totally looked up to and could never forget. You gave so much to me during my baby sober years and I will forever be grateful.
The best email to land in my inbox in ... months.
Thank you Naomi <3 <3 <3
