You always put my exact thoughts into (very eloquent) words... Finding your *silly little newsletter* (I say this to myself literally daily) was one of the best parts of 2024 so thank you thank you for using your little corner of the internet to encourage being a little messy, a lot thrifty, and pushing past our own mental blocks to find a little bit of happiness in a scary world. Also, the asparagus is TOO GOOD.

The feeling is so *so* *so* mutual -- Internet friendships are a unique brand of special and I'm glad the universe brought us together in this corner of the internet ✨

Also, someone bought the asparagus and I am both happy and realizing now how badly I wanted it lol - who bought it? Show yourself!!!

Not two of my favorite movies in one! My favorite line/motto from Garden State is “If you can’t laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you like” It’s a constant challenge to not to take ourselves, and what we put out ::gestures around:: too seriously. There is bravery and value in creating.

I may just be the poster child for the "takes themselves too seriously" illness campaign. It's a process to allow yourself to be really, really bad at something in order to learn and grow, especially in the age of the internet where viewing "perfection" is so easily accessible!

I hope you know I’m a fan, Glenn! And I’m here for the weird… I’ve been telling people how to spell my name by saying, “Sheila is weird,” for decades. 😁💜

Keep on doing what you do, you’re awesome .

Your writing is fantastic and my eyeballs love your collages. Thank you for keeping on and keeping some stuff free, and for introducing me to Garden State! (Have yet to watch, but that clip gave me big smiles)

Thank you for being a reader! I hope you love Garden State -- the soundtrack might be one of the greatest film soundtracks of all time...

Your “silly little newsletter” is a one of the brightest spots in my week ☺️ you’re weird and wonderful and original in a way that gently nudges me to embrace my inner weird and wonderful, also. And I genuinely hope you know how powerful and needed that is!

“That girl is so weird” is something I’ve heard stage-whispered about me throughout my life. Thanks for being another voice helping to slowly find peace and even joy in being that person.

Also the German word for asparagus is “spargel” and that just makes me really happy for some reason.

I love your writing and think you have THE best vintage finds on all of Al Gore’s Internet.

Weird is special! And spargel sounds so much cooler than asparagus, which is really saying something, actually lol

Thank you for being a reader on Al Gore's Internet -- it means a lot, a lot, a lot ✨
