In February late 2021, I launched my Patreon. The “why” of doing so is in the 5-minute video below, but the short answer is that my readers asked for a way to support me during a time where I can’t work like I used to. My CSF leak means that I am limited in my functioning; I can’t stand very long, tie my own shoes, use my laptop for extended periods, and the pain levels are quite high.
I’ve been looking to move to a podcast and other ventures that weigh less heavily on my physical state, and in the process have built this Patreon community to come along for the ride.
It’s a fun space to share photos, behind the scenes videos, ask people’s thoughts about future podcast episodes or writing, and connect readers with one another.
As part of the Patreon, I wanted to have a page where I can publicly share the wonderful people who have joined , both the initial founding members, and everyone else as time goes on.
I hope to see you in the Patreon community!
A Big Thank You to My Patrons!
