Reader, seems like technology got between us!

I've only just realized that this weeks email never sent. But that's okay because I got to have some solo time with the cafe.

Today and tomorrow's (Thursday) cafe is the final Creative Cafe session for a while. Going on an indefinite hiatus! I have my surgery on September 30th but have doctor appointments, wrapping up project appointments, physical therapy, and my own birthday on the 29th so I will be working around all of that and won't have any time to open the cafe!

And for the future, I don't know when after my surgery I will be ready but I'm choosing to not pressure myself by picking a date of re-opening. And who knows, I might have an epiphany that keeps the cafe closed forever *dun dun duuuuunnn*
​
Soooo, I hope you join me on Thursday to say goodbye to the Creative Cafe and make your creative strategy plans for life without it!

Thank you so much to everyone who has participated and made this a wonderful experience :D You are the cream of the crop!

How to support me through my 1.5 years of major surgery:

Aaaaaand, if you're wondering how to best support me during my health focused time, please subscribe to my youtube channel :D I won't be able to work for the next 1.5 years due to all the surgery and physical therapy I have to do.

Why does this help? Well, once I reach 1,000 subscribers then I can start making some money from my videos! This will be sooo helpful for the lack of income situation I will be in.

With 1 more subscriber I will be 9% of the way to my goal of 1,000 subs by the end of 2024. And with 11 subscribers I'll be at 10%!!!

Thank you to every single person that has subscribed <3 As Creatives it's so important to support each other so the normies can find our work easier!

With that said, PLEASE let me know how I can support yooouuuu!!
