Virtual Birthday Card

[klb]

As I turn 41, I feel lucky to have a family that I love very much and a job that I like very much. But sometimes the world can feel small when one has young kids, and one of my birthday wishes this year is to feel meaningfully connected to a community that goes beyond just family and work. So this is my virtual birthday card, and I am hoping that maybe some people would like to take a moment to write some nice things in it! If my presence in the world has improved your life in some way, it would make me feel very good to hear about it!

Happy birthday klb! When I think about why the podfic community means so much to me, you're one of the first names I think of! Through podtogether and voiceteam I've met so many great people and you do so much to help those events run smoothly and bring people together this way! I hope you have a lovely birthday and a wonderful year ahead ❤❤❤

You are such a gift to the podfic community!! And to me, specifically. You are so warm and welcoming, and you've gone out of your way multiple times to invite me to participate in community events like Voiceteam when I was nervous or having a difficult time in life, and you've jumped through hoops to enable me to do so. Every time you've done so, I've ended up having a marvelous time at the event itself, but just the way you keep reaching a hand out to me over and over again, inviting me in—that in and of itself makes me feel warm and fuzzy and welcomed and joyful. Thank you thank you thank you, and may you have as much joy on your birthday as you've brought to me and to this community!!!

Thank you! You have always been so kind about that, and it has always been wonderful to have your presence, in whatever capacity you were able to be there! I really appreciate this birthday message which made me feel very warm and fuzzy this morning.

Thank you so much for the kind words and also for blessing the year ahead! I think I am going to try to make next year be all about finding joy and beauty in small places, so I have very high hopes for it being a good year as long as the world can avoid sending any major tragedies my way <3 I'm so glad that PT and VT have connected you to people, which is one of my very top wishes for both of those events (along with encouraging cool explorations of what audio fanworks can be)!
