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!
I mostly know you as a mod of events that have grown to be the highlight of my podfic year. I would not be the same podficcer if it wasn't for Voiceteam and pod-together and for the community around these events. You do so much for the podfic community! I cannot thank you enough for that.
Also, in the online spaces I've shared with you, I've always known you to me as incredibly kind, welcoming, considerate and open in your interactions with everyone. Being relatively new to the more social aspects of online fandom, this really stood out to me and I like to think it's shaped how I try to interact with people online.
I hope you have a wonderful and I wish you all the best for the next year <3
P.S.: I wish I'd taken pictures when I unexpectedly came across a Kneipp basin this summer and soaked my feet. I often think of you and that addition to the Choosing Well challenge :)
Re: Happy Birthday!
I am so glad for the awesome energy you bring to Voiceteam and pod-together! The fact that you were previous fandom friends with one of my fave people in Ted Lasso fandom (chainofclovers) gave me an immediate positive impression of you that has proven to be absolutely deserved over the years.
I'm so glad that my presence has been positive for you——it means a lot to me to hear that reflected back, and makes me feel really good about myself, so thank you!
And I'm thrilled to be associated with feet-soaking. An excellent legacy!
