I love everything about this list. I feel like the ocean washes off the soul grime that builds up on us so we can feel hope coming through again. It’s pure magic✨

Loved reading through your Notes to Self - they are something that we can all draw from. Thank you. So glad you and the paperbarks came through Alfred intact. It must have been quite an ordeal.

Hi Holly, I'm glad to hear you made it safely through the cyclones, and thank you for these April Notes, which are FAB! I have a question for you. I'm based in the US, and I would love to buy the ebook edition of The House That Joy Built, but it does not yet seem to be available in the US. A few months back I did write to your agent, but I don't believe I received a response. Anyway, something to put on your radar, as it could lead to more book sales in the US for you.

Thank you♥️🙏🕊️

Hello @Camilla Sanderson, thank you for your kind thoughts and lovely note! Also for your question about The House That Joy Built. I’m sorry you didn’t get a response from my agent. Joy isn’t published in hard copy / ebook or audio in the US yet… but I’m hoping to have exciting news on this front very soon, and will come back here to update you when I do. Thank you so much for being here, and for reading my words.

I'm sitting down today 'to show up.' Thank you is such a simple saying. What it really means to me....you passed on the courage from yourself to another. You passed on the connection. You Holly, passed on the hope. No cyclone can stop hope. And whilst we're still breathing....there's hope for our stories.
