## Resource

The Liat Show is rebuilding our world through storytelling, powered by readers. To receive new posts first and support my work, join as a free or paid subscriber and stay ahead of the next chapter before the door closes. Current Time. Dear friends, Welcome to my weekly update. It has been a challenging week. I’m still dealing with some difficult, overwhelming, and stressful personal issues. I feel like I’m making the right decisions based on the cards I have in my hand, but I have no idea if that’s actually the case because I can’t see anything yet. But I will definitely share more about this time with you one day. In the meantime, almost a year after the first installment, I published the first episode of a new fiction series on Friday. I wish I had known how many of you had read it because I would have been happy to get feedback. So, if you have a few minutes to chat over messages, please DM me. Sometimes, I feel like I’m sending a letter in a bottle across the ocean or speaking on an open radio channel, not knowing if anyone is listening or if someone has found the bottle and read my words. That’s my life here. I’m writing, but I have no idea how far my words travel on this planet Earth. Before wishing you a great week, I would appreciate your help. If you know me personally and read this, I’d be grateful if you could become a paid subscriber. It would give me a boost of energy to my confidence, and I really need this week. The subscription costs $8 a month or $88 a year, which is at the price of a cup of coffee and a cookie. If you're fortunate enough to afford more than one subscription, please invite someone in your life who’d enjoy reading the mess I write about. And remember, there’s a discount on group subscriptions. Thanks for being here. Thank you for subscr…
