Welcome back to Ask Velvet. Today's episode is a little different because today the spotlight isn't on a topic, a story, or a poem. Today, the spotlight is on you, the listeners, the ones who press play while you're driving, sitting at work, relaxing at home, cooking dinner, walking the dog, or maybe even sitting out on your porch just watching the world go by. Wherever you are listening from right now, I want you to take a moment to just sit back, breathe, and feel appreciated because this episode is a listener roll call. This is a moment somewhere to pause, somewhere to smile, and somewhere to know that you are part of something growing. This podcast has reached people in places I never imagined, and that is because of you. So today I want to give some love back. Let's start with the cities. My hometown of DC, Ashburn, Bowie, Baltimore, Alexandria, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Queens, Madrid. Whether you're listening on your way to work, sitting in traffic, relaxing at home, or just passing the time, I appreciate you pressing play. Now, let's show some love to the states, Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, California, New York, Oregon, New Jersey. From coast to coast, north to south. You are all helping this podcast grow one listener at a time. And now let's go international because this podcast isn't just local anymore. Shout out to everyone listening around the world from the USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Canada, Congo, Singapore. It amazes me that something recorded here can travel across oceans and land in someone's ears somewhere else in the world. That's powerful. And it reminds me that this podcast is more than just episodes. It's a community. Every time you press play, you become part of the journey. Some of you share the episodes, some of you tell friends and family, some of you tune in every time a new episode drops. And some of you may have just discovered this podcast today. No matter how you got here, I want you to know something. You are appreciated because time is something we can never get back. And the fact that you choose to spend even a few minutes listening to me means more than you know. So from this moment forward, every time I thank my listeners, you're going to hear me say this. If you pressed play today, you're part of the story. And for that, I thank you. Before we close out this episode, I also want to say this. If you enjoy this podcast and want to help support it, you can always donate to help keep the show going. And honestly, it doesn't take much. If just 20 listeners gave three to five dollars today, it would help keep the podcast growing and help me continue bringing you more episodes. But whether you donate, share the show, or simply keep pressing play, your support means everything. So before we end, let me do one more roll call to everyone listening in Dallas, City of London, Winder, Phoenix, Denver, to everyone listening across South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Colorado, and to everyone listening from Hawaii, England, Singapore, thank you for being here. And remember this, if you pressed play today, you're a part of the story. This is Ask Velvet, and I appreciate every single one of you.
