You are the most compelling writer on Substack, as far as I am concerned 🧐 Reading your work is like getting a subliminal gut punch 👊 Every single line blows my mind 💥 I have not idea how you do it or, indeed, what you are doing 😥 It is a total mind shift = altered reality ⚡

Thank you. Truly.

I don’t take that lightly.

If something in the work lands that deeply, it’s because it touched a place we both recognize, not because of anything clever on my part. I’m just paying close attention and telling truth as cleanly as I can.

I’m grateful you’re reading, and even more grateful you’re feeling. That’s where the real exchange happens.

Appreciate you rider

Mèsi anpil zokòt👊🏾

I need people like you to hold my hand on this perilous journey that I'm about ready to undertake I just need to know are you hear with me Rider or do I take this journey alone just like I've always done?

You’ve walked alone because you were strong enough to survive that way. This chapter is different. It invites company, not armor.

You’re not alone in this, Rick.

I’m here with you, steady and present...

I’m here, not ahead of you, not pulling you, just beside you.

You don’t have to prove anything or carry this perfectly.

This journey is lighter when it’s shared, and you’re allowed that.

We take it one step, one breath, one honest moment at a time.

I think Im at a threshold in my life the closer my auto biography comes out I'll be sharing my entire life with strangers I don't even know. Am I scared?;Hell yeah I'm scared. Am I anxious? Hell yeah Do I know how to deal with it? Hell No!

Rick, what you’re feeling makes sense.

When a life opens itself, the air changes.

There’s weight in telling your story because it carries years, faces, and quiet battles, like you told me personally some very tough trials… challenges…

You don’t have to know how to carry it perfectly. Showing up with sincerity is already enough.

Share it gently, at your own pace. It will meet the people who are ready for it.

Thresholds don’t rush us. They receive us as we are.
