@lmrush Thank you Lisa! Sorry to hear about it though.

Hi Guys,

We would love to make a podcast called something like:

"When Freelance Jobs Go Wrong"

I'm looking for examples that you might be able to share with us that we can talk about on the podcast? Any input is greatly appreciated! If you want to be kept anonymous just say so here and I'll read from here and keep your name out of the podcast.

Thank you!!!

@jthomas For me it begins with making the art you want to make - it has to. You will only be enthusiastic when you're creating your best work - the work that you can't wait to get into or back to. Your audience will find you when you share that work. Then you need to keep making the work that made you and your audience happy. Think of the art you consume be it movies, music, comics, books, whatever. The creators didn't define you - they made their _________ and you found it...and now you want more. I hope this helps...

Hi Gang,

I love you guys. I got the book yesterday and it took my breath away. I won't be able to describe the feelings I had when I realized what I was looking at. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at each page. I felt unworthy of this much love and attention - I felt in some ways it was too much...but then I realized that this is what we do for each other. We show our ultimate love and appreciation and compassion and concern by giving of ourselves - giving our time.

Your work was beautiful - each one reminding me of the love I had and have for an amazing woman named Lori. I will cherish this gift for the rest of my life. I will remember to lift others as you have lifted me in my time of need. I will try to place myself in the shoes of others to be continually worthy of your efforts.

I'm humbled and moved to my core.

Thank you doesn't quite say it but whatever is 5 notches above thank you - that's what I'm feeling.

And thank you Shannon for all your hard work and willingness to be a leader...wow!

@ShannonBiondi Oh my, I just saw this thread - I can't believe you all. This is so wonderful. What a bright spot in weeks of sorrow... I'm speechless. Thank you.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know that your kind words are so comforting... I know I haven’t met most of you but I feel I know many of you too. My tears and sorrow will fade over time but I’ll never forget your kindness.

@MissMushy It doesn't matter where you've been as much as where you're going! If you or anyone else has ideas for more badges let us know!

@Chip-Valecek Love it!

@lmrush It just needs to be tightened up a little... You are trying to balance the loose with the tight and I would assume you are afraid of getting too tight. That's a good thing in some ways because when you get too tight you take away the viewers imagination. There does need to be a good balance and that's the hard part.

@MichaelaH Thank you - I'll put it on our meeting agenda!
