Today I want to pause and publicly recognize four incredible people who help hold this community together:
These four have been with me from the very beginning.
Before we had rankings.
Before we hit milestones.
Before we grew past 100 members.
They believed in the vision.
They are not only some of our strongest supporters financially through their memberships — they are also among the most consistent in engagement, encouragement, and heart.
Behind the scenes they:
• Help remove scammers and protect the community
• Host crafting hours
• Answer questions
• Welcome new members
• Encourage others•
And encourage me when I need it most
They celebrate your wins.
They show up when someone is frustrated.
They care deeply about keeping this a safe, supportive space.
You see the posts and the comments — but what you don’t always see is the quiet support, the messages, the brainstorming, the, “You’ve got this,” moments that happen in the background.
This community is growing because of teamwork. And these four are a big part of that foundation.
If you see Julie, Paul, Suzane, or Ruby in the comments today — please drop them some love. 💛
We are building something special here. And we’re building it the right way — together.
With deep gratitude,
Kim 🧶💛
