\n(NOTE: This one was filmed in haste and anxiety because it was a crowded location, and instead of saying everything I wanted, I blurted out what sounds to me now like a misogynist jab, so please read the accompanying text for context. I’ll post a more thorough explanation in a new video next time around! What suspense for YOU!)<\/p>\n

As usual, I am so appreciative in your faith in me, and support of me!

For that, I can’t thank you enough.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
