Hey guys! I hope you're well.

I spent a few hours trying to film this in video form, but I'm currently going through one of those phases where I feel awkward and uncomfortable with how I look and all I want to do is hide under a tent.

I wanted to let you know of a few updates I've made to the pledges before the next monthly charge on February 1st.

For the $1 tier, I'm going to be replacing Check-In videos with more frequent text/picture updates, as well as more Lens stories. I've noticed that the past check-in videos get about 20-ish views and there's about 450 of us here. I'm hoping to find a better and more efficient way to keep you posted. :) 

I'm removing Office Hours, too, because at this time I need to focus on working on creating stuff by myself before I open up to feedback. I feel simultaneously extra fragile and inspired. There has been so much on my mind and I want to make the most of this rush of creativity and emotions. The Office Hours vids were also viewed by less than 20% of you, so again, it's an opportunity to search for alternatives. 

The $3 and $5 pledges will stay the same for now.

The $10 pledge is going paperless. Hehe. This will now be a digital handwritten note instead of a physical letter. I loooove sending physical letters, but in doing the full Math of all the fees and costs, there are times when it ends up costing more than the pledge itself to mail letters since I have to go through a 3rd party to send them via the US. 

The $20 pledge will stay the same with the handwritten letter and signed pic.

$50 stays the same, too.

I've been super quiet this month here on Patreon. I apologize for that. The year has started a bit struggly for me and I've been figuring things out. I have to remember to not stay silent through those moments.

My main professional goal for this year is to create more things. More videos, release more songs, write more blog posts, write, write, write. My personal goal is to lose weight. hehe.

The first project of the year is a Lord of the Rings/Tolkien EP. Wooo! I am shooting the video for Into the West next week.

After that, I'll record May It Be, and I think that's all the tracks. + Misty Mountains + Pippin's Song/In Dreams, previously recorded.

Alrighty, guys, that's the latest! Rewards for $3 and $5 go out on Wednesday!

Thank you for being here.What's your main professional or personal goal this year?

Hugs,Malu

Hey Malu. Sorry to hear the year has started hard. But We are here for you. I personally know it can be hard to let people in and keep them updated due to depression. I am sad to hear yours is getting worse. But we still support you. I support you. I hope everything works out for you. Take care. -Josh

malukah

Joshua, thank you so much. <3

Joshua Palacios

You are welcome Malukah. You have helped me through your music. So I want to return the support.

GregRauv

Good luck Malu! There's plenty of people around that care for you even if they are far away, and you're a one tough cookie, you can do it <3 Cheesy joke of the day. Remember, you are MexiCAN not MexiCANT :P

Daniel Emerald

Stay in touch with your emotions and I am sure you will continue to be inspired and create all those wonderful songs we all love so much. My personal goal is to rebuild my gaming rig so I can get more than the 7 FPS I currently get playing ESO on a 10yr old PC LOL

TM599

Thanks for the update, hope you get through this soon and I'm looking forward to your new creations! <3

Daniel Monroe

Thanks for the update. I've been having a rough start to 2019 as well. My personal goal for the year is to be more rigorously honest with myself.

Molmod

Thinking of you. Hope things turn around soon.

Roseanne Martha Bowes

My professional goal is to create more, I'm doing some art courses to improve and gain new skills! Personal goal is to get my health to a better place and lose a bit of weight along the way! Thinking of you!

June Marie (CosmoDings)

Don't apologize for January being quiet. As others have said, I don't support you because I expect certain things. It's because I love you and your music. And did you actually see how much stuff we got from you in December?? The changes look good! I especially like the digital handwritten note :) Take your time and find out what works for you, both in terms of time and cost. My main professional goal this year is going back to school. I have only completed high school (and some university courses), but finally, want to have a go at higher education. So the first step is to take maths and physics classes to meet the requirement for science studies. So that's what I'm going to start in August. My main personal goal is to continue my journey on becoming fitter and healthier. 2018 started good, but I slacked off a bit after summer, so now it's time to pick up the pace again :). No matter what happens, I'm excited to see what 2019 brings for all of us <3.

You are good enough. You always have been, and you always will be. And gosh darnit, people like you! ❤ My goal for the year is to balance my anxiety meds and get my head in a better place :)

Frank Savage

Agree completely!! No need to apologize! You are super talented and know that no matter what happens you have had such a positive influence on so many lives! I can safely say I wouldn’t have gotten through the hardest time of my life without you and your music!!

Honestly I’m sort of just here for the ride. Sometimes creativity takes other directions and that's okay. Office Hours were a very neat idea, but my internet connection is spotty so I usually can’t livestream anything. As long as there are still downloads and maybe a check-in or archive vid now and then, I’m happy. :=) I’m also partly pledging to support your gaming vids and it’s slightly easier for me to do that here than Twitch. Between both of these platforms, you’ve been sooooo busy and I think many of us can confidently say that we couldn’t realistically manage all of it long-term if we were in your position. You also have non-Reverbian projects and a family, and neither can get shoved aside. I’d hate to see your life and creativity suffer just because you were having trouble finding balance. Also YESSSS on the e.p.! (btw, if you were curious, there’s also a B-side called “Use Well The Days” – it didn’t make it onto any version of the soundtrack but Annie Lennox recorded it and there’s official sheet music out there for it) <3 <3 <3

yanis

All I can say is, continue to be you, and do it the way you feel comfortable. Your authenticity is what makes you so endearing, and there is never a need to apologize. At least not as far as I'm concerned.

FloundericiousWA

You be yourself Malukah....if you’re not feeling like being on cam, then it’s all good...I’m here for the tunes and your voice 😻

Thijs Bos

They changes are understandable. I usually watch everything a bit later because I never seem to be able to catch up with my patreon, but I'm saying no worries on this. Take the time you need and let the creativity flow!

John M Weeks

Seems I am a bit late to this party, but that is nothing new sadly. It becomes a very fine line trying to do for others and still be able to do as one wishes. You just need to find that balance that works for you. Remember to follow your heart and seek the spirit of the songs you are wanting. Sometimes songs will simply present themselves. If you worry about how others will receive them, or would have done differently, don't. Sometimes a bit of insight from a friend or such can help for sure, but in the end, unless it is co-written, you are the one to decide. When it feels right to you my friend, then send it out like that. You have a lot of talent Judith, and even greater waiting, but in the end only you can find it and bring it out. If it helps, I believe in you, it's why I am here. As far as silence, it's been a friend of mine for years. There are times it needs a voice , yes, but other times it just needs to be. But never for too long without a friend by your side. Always here if you should need / want.

Andreas Veide

¨Stay strong Malukah! You are absolutely beautiful and your voice and what you create is hard to match. Even your lowest level (what you self believe is the lowest) is angel like. Take your time to realise what we do. Just keep doing what you do. Much love from Sweden! <3

Half_Blined_Born

Thank you that you with us!) Let my contribution small, ($1) but me it is good here, and I do not feel deprived. Sometimes in addition on Twitch I subscribe, not regularly. I wish Success in your projects! That concerning my plans for this year - I Want to finish diorama background to have opportunity to take the beautiful photo of scale models of cars which I collect. At the moment work is conducted 9 months. Also I want will learn to play on the whistle which at me has appeared relatively recently.

Woufff

Glad to hear that you singing lessons went well today, although I find you have a wonderful voice already, I'm never tired to listen to you <3 Big hugs to you & Thor :)

Gregg Bialk

Hello Malu. My first post! 😄 And by the way, I have no idea why you need to worry about your looks. You are beautiful and I can tell the same is true inside and out. I mentioned in an email that I hope you can do Daughter of the Sea. That is a beautiful song and has your name written all over it. I am sure you would do a beautiful version of that song. Take care.

Zkin

Take your time, Malu! No need to apologize!

Alexandre Joly

Passionate and devoted to sharing the best with us, thank you ;)

Thijs Bos

Sometimes you need more you time. No shame in thay
