I am SO EXCITED for you! Congratulations on getting a book contract! I cannot wait to preorder a copy (multiple copies) of your work!

The bit about two contracts sounds frustrating and aggravating and... I'll be praying for you as you process all that.

Thank you for this week's list, beautifully curated, as always. Marcie, you're wonderful, and I'm glad to know you.

Of all of the writers that I follow, you are the one whose book I would be most excited to preorder and read, read, and read again. You are talented and it is evident that you put the work in to bring words to life, graciously and generously. Congratulations and may peace find you in the process. <3

Congratulations. I’m tearing up while reading between your lines this morning. Reading the cost of being where you were never meant to be, twice, and also the triumph and holiness of it. The dedications and the books you chose to honor (I already know there are so many more, and it must have been tough to narrow down) are our heritage of here-ness. Still here. Prophesying.

Wow. I wrote a heartfelt, eloquent benediction, well you inspire me and will make a writer out of me yet! Sending a silent roar of congratulations your way with a big smile. I accidently lost it during login so I am just writing this with great joy and confidence. I feel like shouting! This is a big win for the sensitive and perceptive. I have been around friends when they go through life and career changes and when wind shifts, it's thrilling and I receive great power to be happy for them and cheer them on. I don't want to say stepping stone because people I value most don't think of life on those terms, but I am overjoyed not only for the sobriety that you approach this with but also the clear and unconfused joy of seeing you elevated, that comes with trust in how you have helped my life and many others. Obviously I know very little about the challenges and road that awaits, but please take this gift of some of the joy I feel and may it refresh you on your journey today! Happy Monday as well
