Dear Friend of the Meditations Blog:

In March 2017, in the midst of a deep and life-altering personal crisis, I started the Meditations blog. When I began, I had no idea where the writing would go. It just felt imperative to publish, as if I was writing to save my life.

Recently, I passed the 500-post mark, well over 250,000 words, and have reconnected with old readers and been delighted to meet new ones.

The blog directly led to a new book about my experience as a volunteer at a senior dog sanctuary, the forthcoming Bonnie and Clyde Files. It energized my interest in fiction. It also turned on a poetry switch inside me that I didn’t know existed.

When I launched the blog, I asked readers to consider making a financial contribution to support the writing, as a sort of magazine subscription. Many readers did and I am eternally grateful.

Over 18 months later, I am asking readers to consider making another contribution to support my future publishing projects, which include this blog. This is the final time I will make such a solicitation. Consider any amount you donate a lifetime subscription to Meditations.

The blog will keep going forward and probably move in mysterious, unforeseen ways. And if a contribution isn’t in the cards, please keep reading and reaching out if a particular post connects with you.

You can donate via Paypal here (tab to the right) or contact me via email to arrange another form of payment.

Thank you. Your faith in me has meant everything.

Matt Love
