This year, I am most grateful for…
🦃🌾🍗🍁🥂🍂🥧🙏🎊🕯️🌲🥐🪹🍄🟫✨🪶🫂🏈🌬️🌤️🧣🤟
I like to take stock of my blessings during meditation, but during this USA holiday - Thanksgiving, a time to reflect with a grateful heart - I try to pay extra attention to the miracles I am most grateful for this year.
And wow, what a crazy year this has been!
I got divorced (on good terms, still friends), new job, new living situation, new social adventures, new sexy romances, I published my first paranormal romance book as a web serial, and I am being hired for my artistic/creative skills in the community.
After 23 years, I can say I am a published Author. I am a paid Artist. I am a paid Voice Performer.
These are dreams I had always hoped to achieve - and part of me feared would never accomplish. My creative skills were praised in my family…and yet, I was also told I wouldn’t be good enough to be competitive and earn a living from doing what I loved.
Well, now I can actually prove those naysayers - and that internal voice of doubt - wrong! And while I may not be earning enough to fully support my financial needs without working a regular job - YET - I feel it is only a matter of time with your continued generous support.
You have helped me realize that my creative gifts are valued. You will never know how much that means to me. As a low-income Disabled woman, you have no idea how many nights I have cried myself to sleep with financial scarcity, aching from my soul to make a living doing what I love - creating art, telling stories, sharing my gifts, my purpose - while being crushed in the rat race. Customer service/retail/cubicle jobs are where artistic souls go to die.
So this year, I am most thankful for YOU, your kind words, encouragement, support, and your continued patronage of the smutty arts. Yes, my arts may be primarily of the spicy variety😏, but I do hope the deeper storylines and themes move people, lend comfort, or inspire a smile! Someone even commented that my Futa Orc inspired them to go to the gym after years of aversion! I am blown away! Takeaway: smut saves lives!
I have been an amateur Voice Performer for over a year now, since recording and sharing my first audio (Futa Witch Fertility Spell) on my phone in a closet (with Motor on my lap) in October 2023.
Thanks to you, I’m now at a desk (lol, much more comfortable for Motor), I have an actual microphone, and I am using a non-pirated DAW sound design program😅. Because of your patronage, I have been able to pay rent, buy groceries and medicated kidney food for Motor, invest in a car, and now I am looking to come off of Disability!
I always had this weird talent for voice acting. Or rather, identifying voice actors in all the cartoons, anime, and games, remembering other characters they’d voiced and trivia facts about them. I used to go over to my brother’s house as a teen (he’s 14 years older than me but we were practically twinsies - AND I was born on his birthday) and he and I would stay awake until 3am doing cartoon voice impressions while eating candy and drinking Red Bull (his Peter Griffin/Quagmire was 🤌). I was a theater nerd, but I never thought life would actually lead me here, doing voice acting🎙️. Never thought doing this would use all my talents (writing, art, theater, sound design). Never thought it would be so damn fulfilling! Challenging and hard work, yet FUN! And I never thought others would love this alongside me, too💖.
So…thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.
No matter your situation, I hope you have a lovely and relaxing day, that you’re able to set boundaries and take moments for self care, and that you may reflect on the many blessings this year has brought to you. And remember the miracle that YOU have been to others…me included.
