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!

I hope you have such a wonderful day!
Let me start this by saying that I very much credit you as a big reason I started podfic! I saw your message in some server advertising it and signed up on a whim, barely knowing what podfic was...
You do such an incredible job at fostering a community that it made me want to stay. You're organized and enthusiastic and you know when to come towards people and help them and when to set boundaries.

Working with you has been an actual blast! You're a fantastic actor and the way you CARE so deeply about the things you create is contagious and I think it makes everyone around you to want to do well (which I think is no small feat), it certainly did that for me.

You are also just fantastic at letting people know what exactly you're looking for in a project or interaction and it opens up the chance for everyone to be open about what they want, which creates such an open environment, which I really, really, REALLY admire.

I am very much hoping we get a chance to collaborate at some point again! And I hope you have such a fantastic birthday, and all the days after that!

This is such a wonderful birthday message, thank you! I think I've said it before, but I am so so grateful to you, because I love the Merrily fanwork that we made so much and there's just no way it would have happened without you. I've loved talking to you and getting to know you this past year, and I'm really glad that we get to watch musicals together every month now!

And thank you for saying I'm a good actor. It means a lot coming from you after how closely we worked together! I would be thrilled to collaborate again, at very least on recording a multivoice. Surely there will be a good opportunity for it this coming Mystery Box?
