Tell people you appreciate them. When you see someone putting their art, heart, passion, skills, and thoughts out into the world, that can be a very scary and vulnerable thing to do. 

I was on a call recently with someone who told me that they make a point to read my emails every week. Sometimes they’re busy on Mondays when I send the newsletter out, but they’ll hold it until Wednesday and read through then when they have more time to stay updated on the social media platforms. It meant so much to hear how they use my email and how valuable they find it. I’m so grateful for those words that left me encouraged and uplifted.

It was probably a similar feeling to what this musician experienced when a couple drove by in their car playing the artist’s music. 

It can mean the world to know that what you’re doing connects with someone else.
