After Daniel blowing his top and saying “who peer reviewed you?,” I snapped and asked my literal top fan on Facebook to write me a review because she’s a professional editor who works overseas and has no relation to me except through the web site. She’s not a friend of a friend doing me a favor, she is the first one that even had a “Top Fan” badge.
It led to this post today, where I have never in my lifetime felt so proud of myself. I didn’t ask her what to write. I just asked her that she write. Here’s the Facebook post for it if you are not subscribed in both places:
My first official review from Canada (the unofficial ones are quite complex) :
Chaque jour, “Leslie Lanagan’s Stories that are All True” (les histoires de Leslie Lanagan qui sont toutes vraies) apporte une nouvelle perspective au blog de Leslie. Imaginez que vous écriviez tous les jours ! Ils offrent des points de vue aussi convaincants que réfléchis. Vivant avec l’AuDHD, leurs expériences sont un témoignage de résilience et de créativité, et leur capacité à articuler leurs pensées continue d’impressionner, d’inspirer et, parfois, de me faire vomir mon thé. Leurs écrits sont un rappel quotidien de la puissance de l’esprit humain et de la véritable liberté d’expression.

Each day, “Leslie Lanagan’s Stories that are All True” brings a fresh perspective to Leslie’s blog. Imagine writing every single day! They offer insights that are as compelling as they are thoughtful. Living with #audhd, their experiences are a testament to resilience and creativity, and their ability to articulate their thoughts continues to impress, inspire and at times makes me spew my tea. Their writing is a daily reminder of the power of the human spirit and true freedom of expression.

It took me a really, really long time to just accept the fact that I deserved to have these things said about me because they’re true. That my first thought is not “genuine connection is suspicious.”
Here’s my new space, where I’ll be able to accept donations of any size you want to give (the minimum is $2, but it would have been the lower limit anyway in honor of something I did for a friend that made her spit out her vegan vanilla latte.
Next one’s on me, Wesson. 😛
