Dear ones

Hello…hello…hello.

I’m calling to say I am here and I love you.

It’s been a stunner and a bruiser of a week for yours truly, for so many reasons. Micro marco above below.

I’m too tired for words, but they’ll come, they always do.

Right now I am just reminding you all that the arc of everything is long.

You patrons are the wind in my sails. Thank you all for carrying me homewards, towards myself.

So much more to come.

Love from our lighthouse,

I blink,

Sending love back!

I love you and definitely need your little reminder right now 💛 I've been dealing with so many emotionally unregulated people and honestly coping so well with it but I'm exhausted! Being the healing one is exhausting! I miss you and I just secured FRONT ROW to the Poughkeepsie show, so 🥰🥰🥰 see you so soon

Anna McCotter

Blinking back. Always and always 🤍

Amanda Eckert

Blinking right back at you. ❤️ Feels like this week restarted in Safe Mode instead of Normal Mode and nothing was shut down properly and nothing was saved and things just aren’t working like they should be anymore

Misty

I need a reminder, I'm struggling so much right now. Finding a job is rough

Andrew Funk

Sending infinite love and encouragement to you. Something I wanted to share with you. When working on my album, I worked with a friend of yours. She lent her immense talent to a couple songs. To clarify, I'm in no way looking for exposure or a leg up. I have exactly zero interest in a career in music. This album was never supposed to be professionally recorded. I wrote and recorded the songs with an acoustic guitar and my phone. It was meant to be my suicide note to my wife and children. But instead the album helped me out of that darkness and saved my life. Here's a small part of that in which your friend Layla I Royale lent her cello to. I don't know if you're still in contact with her. But she played cello in the lobby at one of your Dolls shows in Chicago. I believe it was at the Metro. So I'm not sure how well you knew one another. I'm posting it as a reminder to you that the darkest moments can turn and create the most blinding light. Love you, stay strong. We're all with you, regardless of where you go. https://mulforddrive.bandcamp.com/track/concrete

You speak as I currently feel. ....the arc is long. The pessimist in me thinks of Gravities Rainbow. But my heart reminds that this too shall pass and to embrace the suck just as hard as the joy. Glad we could be here for you. Grateful that you've been there for me so many times Tribe-Lady. Peace and Love Cosmic Juice❤️

Jen

Love and light ❤️❤️❤️

Dorit

Thank you. It's been a rough one this side too and my thoughts have turned to your strength in similar situations quite often while trying to work my way through this challenge. So thank you for openly sharing when you can, because it really helps to know I am not alone.

Amanda West

I really needed that reminder right now that “the arc of everything is long” thank you! 🙏❤️

Sad I couldn't make it to campersand

Thomas Herlofsen

Love you. My life is relatively calm now, the storms of last year mainly stories. Still learning to live with my monogamous but kinda poly heart though, and trying to not be a nuisance, which is sometimes harder than it should be. Hope to exchange war stories over a bottle of wine one day. If there is a DD European tour I'll be there.

Marie O'Reilly

Hello, hello. I'm back to listening to the Lighthouse music most days again. I go through phases. It reminds me how much you love us and we love you Amanda, and that we all lift each other up.

Anna Eijsbouts

Sending love. The arc may be long, but it may also be shaped like a heartbeat: downs and then ups. Hugs!

Bruce Cooper

Hello hello hello back.. I see and hear you xo

Damaris

Suzanne

Hugs to you. It's been a weird week. Love to you, my dear. I've been hanging out in SciBabe's Patreon discord of late. It's a warm fuzzy place. Very accepting and lovely. Looking forward to seeing you later this month. Be safe, be well.

Laura Wellner

Blinking back at you, sending many hugs and lots of love.

Claire

good morning! i hope today is better than yesterday <3

Deidra Vance- Barnes

Yes, I know the feeling Amanda. I’ve been sick for 2 weeks( not Covid ), but finally feeling some better today. I’m still without a job and at 60 years old they are hard to come by. However, for the last couple of years I have been trying to build my own business because I am a creative. I want to be self employed again. I hate working for the man. Corporations are not my jam. I love you Amanda and can’t wait to see you in Orlando in June!❤️❤️❤️

Coila

Sorry you are having a hard week! Lots of hugs and love for you! ♥️

Joannah Adams

Love & hugs. And thanks for the solidarity. I’m having a shit one too 🖤

Laurissa

Not sure what's up, but hugs from across the country.

Sara Nelson

I'm still recovering from my miscarriage. I'm starting antidepressants so I can get back to functioning. I've been surrounding myself by fellow strong women to help me survive. I know you are strong and have a support system in real life as well as us Patrons. I think beyond accepting the doughnut we also need to accept the support of others around us in times of strife. I'm trying to do that now. Accept the hugs, words of strength and empathy. We women are tough and we survive but goddamnit sometimes life sure sucks! I am thankful for you Amanda. You have created a space for all of us (including yourself) where we can be real with each other. Where we can say things like "I'm surviving grief from a miscarriage" and it's okay. I'm so thankful for that. I don't understand American society where we are only allowed to talk about happy things. I hope things start looking up for you. I love and adore you. We will survive this shit. We always do. One foot in front of the other. One day after another. One healing moment after another. We will be okay. Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday. 💜💚

💜 I’ve had an eyelid twitch last few days lol it’s damn annoying and random..but it will pass . Blink 🤗 We will be ok ... 🌈 🎵 ❤️

Janet in Georgia

Currently battling a migraine. This too shall pass. ❤️

amandapalmer

We are okay. We are alive. We have survived until now. I am sending you so much love. As one who’s been there … there is no right thing to say. ♥️

Glen Phillips talked about lighthouses a bit following his divorce, how most relationships say 'I love you, be close to me' while lighthouses say 'I love you, you shouldn't be here' He wrote this brilliant song on Swallowed by the New (which was his divorce album, perfectly timed to be my divorce album) But there's no harbor here There's only danger near Cliffs above and rocks below And though I want you close This light can only glow To warn you far away from shore Saying 'I love you, now go' We all too often ignore the sounds of the foghorn, warning us away from the wreckage, Visit the lighthouse, thank it for the warning.

Erika Blumberg

Sending love...and hope, from someone who is now on the other side of divorce. Still, I feel you, and I also cry more days than not.

Celia Nolan

We’re tossed on the waves of the storm, for sure. Lighthouses reveal where some dangers lie, but it’s still up to us to ride out the storm somehow. Feels like. Constant storm now for oh 20-some years. See you in Boston (with my kiddo on crutches)!

Kaleigh

Sending love and light ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Freya

Thank you for being there for us. You hold us and lift us up. We hold you and carry you in our hearts. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
