Happy Substackiversary, Jeannie! And what a beautiful way to be mentioned in this post. That party WOULD be amazing, and it absolutely WOULD be Loudt's fault if we got into trouble. Love you and what you're making here at Seeing Upside Down. Stick with it and I'll stick, too! 💜💜💜
Thank you, Meg. Love you and your vibrant creations too : ) Party on! *casts invisible fishing pole line toward you and turns the invisible reel like you're a fish to be pulled onto the dance floor.*
Excellent, Jeannie!! And happy Substackiversary. Thanks for the kindly mention, and for exposing me to a bunch of other writers lurking the Substack-o-system.
They say writing is like a mirror. Which makes sense. Somehow, your ability to see upside down let’s us, your readers, see right side up. Onwards and upwards !!
: ) : ) : ) I love it, Matt! I remember when I experienced that mirror effect in a new way reading your substack. Yes, on we go in the upward spiral. <3
I remember you were the first person I reached out to when I was curious about doing our own voiceovers! Happy 1 year of putting out honest and vulnerable work.
Yes Stephanie! Thank you so much. I remember listening to your first and subsequent voiceovers. I found I really liked the sound of your voice paired with your writing. You're a powerhouse with the Substack and podcast you have going! Glad to be in your orbit.
Here's to another year Jeannie 🥂 which in internet time is like a whole ass eternity. A couple more laps around the Sun and we're all gonna be sorted under Substack's geriatric section.
PS. you can of course blame your future typos on me
Cheers, Loudt. Into eternity we go- typos, weak bladders, and all. Your substack and yoga help me keep laughing and moving. And then I'll be that nutty 109 year old that gives the credit for living that long to something random like a Dr. Pepper a day keeps death away.
Happy Anniversary ! Look how much you’ve grown in many ways this year. You’ve made me laugh, made me cry, made me ponder, reminded me of the wonder and beauty of life itself. Thank you for sharing your heart. You’ve been given a great gift. Keep writing and blessing us all. Love you so much.
As I was moving from one comment to the next to write a response, I arrived at yours and only read the first few words and broke into tears. I remember it like yesterday- seeing that you subscribed to SUD, and you gave me some of my first comments. And then you shared it with Duke, someone who I didn't know would become a divine guide for me in the subsequent months... someone who I didn't know was long lost family to be reunited with, someone who I didn't know would pass on before this celebration. I don’t know why I didn’t mention him in this post. Maybe I stayed in the closure after my tribute post to him in August. I've known he is still so close with me in spirit. Aunt Debbie, I will always hold gratitude in my heart for you joining me here and sharing your reflections, as well as connecting me with Duke, who continually pointed me back to my true center. I love you.
One of his favorite words...he was a word queer so he often told me...was synchronicity...everything in life is by divine appointment. He will always be close to us in spirt. Your post was perfect just the way it is....he knows your heart and I know he never would have given it a second thought! Real cowboys are like that. 🤠Miss him every day. I’m grateful that my little bird started it all❤️. God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. Love you so much. Keep writing and sharing.
Gah, love those lyrics! Brandi shines so brightly, as do you my friend. I know the rings of fire in partnership well. Sending love to you and sturdy furniture as you grab the corners and stomp your way through year two, determined exploring spirit ✨🦋🐢🫶🏽👯♀️
*looks down and analyzes her desk chair's arm rests* lol judging by the looks of them, I must have already been grabbing and stomping. Onward! : ) much love, Kara. Your presence both here in SUD and in your Substack, Under a Spell, have played a big part in making this experience very special and sacred for me.
So, so excited for your next toddler steps! As we know a toddlers eyes and spirit are wide open, taking everything in, excited at the next new adventure. Learning, laughing (giggling, actually) crying when hurt, but in minutes back to figuring out a new approach to that painful experience. I am so grateful to be a part of it. Here’s to many discoveries that you share with us! 👏🏻 ❤️🙏🏻
What a perfect description of how it has felt and still feels! All the feels! haha I have been so grateful to have you here, Lana. You are one of the ones who loved me through the worst of the darkness, before the sobriety, before the yoga, before the Substack, when they were still only seeds forming deep underneath. You are a light in my life, and I'm so grateful to giggle and dance in the light and freedom together.
As always- I love your writing. I want to thank you for your weekly insights written co compellingly. I also want to thank you for your shoutout to me and my Laura stories on my substack, Blue Sunflower. Laura is most likely already hugging you with her loving spirit as I hold this space of writing, reflecting, and sharing it
-with you on Substack. I hope you and I do get to meet and hug. Either I will need to go to Nashville (on my bucket list) or you to Boston? Maybe we need to have an East Coast meet up, like others are planning mow in California? With much love and a big congratulations on 1 year! I am hooked and will be sticking by your side as you wander forward!💜👏
This comment from you feels like a big hug, Susan! I share that hope with you for us to meet one day. Nashville is on your bucket list, and Boston is on mine. Dominick and I actually thought we might visit there over Thanksgiving, but I don't think it will work out this year financially, unfortunately. Whenever we regroup to make it happen, I will make sure you and I can meet up for coffee/tea somewhere. One of the great gifts of your writing is the experience of grief you share with those who both have and haven't experienced it like you have. I feel like I have a greater capacity for both grief and love after reading your work. It also helps me appreciate precious life even more, which ultimately fuels the writing. On we go. <3
Happy solar return to this beautiful, graceful, ever-evolving, ever-authentic baby of yours! Weeuw! And what a party to be invited to! I am melty grinning right back at you, Jeannie, wildflower bouquet in hand. I hope the celebration and pride has threaded itself into your week 💐💐💐
PS loved your wording around currents of love being nourishment to the aches and pains of war. Alas, there is always beauty and love to be found, even in the most barren and suffering of places. Adding some play into the currents of love, to help the current flow. HUGS xx
And here she comes with more sweetness like honey drizzled on top! : ) Thank you Claire, you are so lovely, as is the writing that flows from you in your substack. I'm grateful we've been able to connect here. I wholeheartedly accept this play you bring to the table! In fact, I think I'll specifically reach for that more often in the coming year.
Thank you, Jeannie, for this lovely shout out. We've all been given such a blessing with this amazing platform filled with incredible souls. It will be great fun to see what we all make of it. Here's to year 2! 💜
Thanks Sue! I'm also glad we connected here. It was cool to walk through The Artist's Way together and also find that you too were learning things along your yoga teaching journey.
Thank you, dear Jeannie, for this post and sharing this lovely song. I'm hanging out with it for a while. A new favorite song, love at first listen. Also, thank you so much for recommending my site. Hands to heart in Namaste. 💜

Ha! That is such a common dance move, I'm surprised there's not a shorthand for it. Or an emoji. 🕺🏼🎣💃🏼

Awww same! As for questionable desk furniture, the amount of rickety side tables and mini bookshelves I possess should be outlawed.👌
So, so excited for your next toddler steps! As we know a toddlers eyes and spirit are wide open, taking everything in, excited at the next new adventure.
