Return From Hiatus

Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, often requiring us to step back from our regular commitments to focus on what truly matters. After an extended absence, I'm reaching out to reconnect and share a glimpse into what's been happening behind the scenes.

The past months have been dedicated to supporting loved ones through cancer-related health challenges. While I'm keeping specific details private to respect their wishes not to have illness become their defining characteristic, I wanted to provide some context for my sudden disappearance. Despite these difficult circumstances, I haven't been completely inactive. During the small pockets of free time, I've been collaborating on an exciting project that you'll hear about soon through upcoming videos and audio releases.

I'm thrilled to announce that the podcast will indeed continue, albeit with a refreshed format that I'll be unveiling within the next week. To better facilitate our connection moving forward, I'll be establishing new communication channels, including a Discord community where we can interact more directly. For those who've been trying to reach out through Buzzsprout's fan mail system (with special thanks to Analisa from Austin for being the first!), I encourage you to find my email through my YouTube channel for more direct communication. Your patience, understanding, and continued interest in this podcast mean the world to me, and I'm looking forward to this next chapter together. Join me as we explore new topics, formats, and ways to build our community stronger than ever before.

Speaker 1: 0:00

Hello everyone. Sorry I've been absent for so long at this particular state and time. I do want to let you know that this podcast will be continuing. It'll be taking on a different format. I will be giving more information about that very soon, probably within the next week or so. This particular episode is just a small one to let everybody know that there's been stuff in my personal life that I've had to deal with in terms of health issues not with me, but with loved ones that I've had to help take care of, mainly cancer related issues. For that I won't be saying any more uh about that at this stage in order to protect them about who it is in my life and whatnot. They don't want to make a big deal out of it and make it the focal point of their life for what's going on there. But I did want to give you guys, uh, a reason for my absence. I should have done so sooner. For that I have been working on other things behind the scenes. When I've gotten some free time. I've done a collaboration with somebody else that you'll learn about soon enough, when those videos and audio clips start coming out. I'm really glad to have worked with him. Anyway, that's kind of all that I have for this in terms of a general thing with it. It's supposed to be quick for what's going on with it.

Speaker 1: 1:38

However, I do want to give a special shout out to somebody who gave me fan mail. You know who you are. I will say your name and thank you very much for what's going on on the broadcast. So, annalisa, you were the first person person to give me a fan mail and I've been very appreciative of it. I you're from Austin, texas is what it says to me. Unfortunately, I am not able to be able to communicate with you directly through the fan mail that is set up by a buzz sprout here. That is one of the things that it does not allow me to do. I know inside of your little message that you sent me, you were talking about how it's been helpful in your studies. I am curious to learn more about what your studies are that I've helped you with, about what your studies are that I've helped you with, and perhaps there could be more of a collaboration that we can do on that particular front.

Speaker 1: 2:53

In the meantime, if you want to be able to reach out to me more on a personal level and whatnot, you can go on to my YouTube channel and from there you can make it so that way you go in and find an email address that you can go into and make that a reality and then email me directly on that front if you want to be able to communicate with me more directly or anybody else for that matter with me more directly or anybody else for that matter. I also intend to make it so that way there will be a discord link that will make it so. That way other people can come and join there for that. That'll be posted whenever the newest video will be popping out slash podcast. That will be popping up in order to deal with the announcement of the new direction that this is going to be going.

Speaker 1: 3:53

So thank you all very much. I hope all of you are having a good 4th of July, since that is today, on the day that I'm recording this, if you are Americans, if you are abroad and whatnot, and you're not Americans and whatnot. I hope that you are all having a wonderful day as well and take care everybody, and I look forward to continuing to work with and seeing all of you and your comments that you give me on YouTube or via fan mail and whatnot and interacting with people soon Take care.
