I remember the exact moment she said it. I was looking out the window from my couch at around 3pm in Topanga Canyon, short of breath, with tears running down my cheeks. It was yet another one of those days when I felt unfairly targeted by the bright California sun, as if its warmth and exuberance were mocking my inner state of death and decay.
It's fascinating to see u being so open about all the changes and the new things that you're doing. But that's Anya 101 !
Nevertheless, once again, I'm feeling super privileged to be part of your community.
You give so much to us and in the same time you're carefully asking about our feelings and feedbacks at every step or change.
You're a Creator and Seeker ( and you totaly deserve the capital C and S 😉).
It's a pleasure and an honour to follow your journey.
Life is just getting crazier outhere with the not so slow return to " normal " ( God I HATE this word).
But when I read u, watch u or listen to u, I'm like " man, there's still people like Anya. Just focus on that".
I want to believe that they're will be more and more people like you ( you're allready atracting them like a magnet).
Letting go of what doesn't resonate with u is never easy but I think that you're doing it gracefully, respectfully and with an oustanding level of honesty.
I sincerely admire that. It's so easy to be numbed by the " Matrix" nowadays (our undless distractions, the day to day grinding just to survive without freaking out, the Planet dying before our eyes... ).
So, dear Anya, I'm super gratefull for all that you already gave us / shared with us.
Let go of what u need to let go. Life is a constant impermanence anyway.
Feeling a little bit guilty for not introducing myself on your Discord, that you were so kind to invite me to. Been too busy. 🙄 But I agree: Discord is quite overwhelming. I'd never used it before and was like "whoa". *slowly backs away*
But I love Substack! You are directly responsible for inspiring me to start one myself. Moved my email list here, and my brand new podcast. So excited to have everything in one place, and to easily interact with my own people as well as with the creators I follow.
Gonna go through your archive now and comment on my favorite episode. Even though I have many. Thank you for everything you do. 🙏🏻
Hey Louise! Don't feel guilty at all. Your lack of an introduction really only makes me feel better about my decision of moving things to Substack. So give your intuition a high five for me. I love that I inspired you to create a Substack of your own!! (Going to subscribe right when I finish typing). Thank you so much for your presence and support.
Oh wow. Let me just serenade you for a bit. I discovered your podcast around 6 months ago (I think), and it changed a lot for me. You made me realize that one could be an open-minded, spiritual, poetic soul and still be a perfectly rational and reasonable human being. And you inspired me so much in the way you showed up and created content. Listening to your podcast deeply relaxes me and makes me feel less alone, and it's what made me want to create such a place as well. Don't know if I would have dared to start a podcast otherwise. So thank you, truly. 🙏🏻
Btw I tried to comment on a few episodes but Substack would only let paid subscribers do that. Not sure if that's intentional, but just letting you know. 😊
I will graciously accept your serenades anytime, for the record. This is such an amazing reflection re: being a spiritual, poetic soul, but also grounded and rational. Certainly qualities I value. Also, thank you for letting me know about the paid subscriber issue - clearly this exercise helped me familiarize myself with Substack as well!
I changed it so that now you can comment on all the archived posts as a free subscriber.

We love you, we respect you and we admire you.
You're the absolute sweetest, Abbas. Thank you for being such an integral part of this community. Literally would not be the same without you.
