I've noticed comments on your instagram can get pretty brutal so it must be hard to make yourself vulnerable like this once a week.

Though if it helps, from an outside perspective, a lot of those comments aren't fair and barely come across in good faith. But I can appreciate they'd be hard to disregard and probably would play on your mind. The internet tends to treat women as quarrelsome teenage daughters to be scolded, until it starts treating them as reactionary grandmas.

It's also tough to go from writing as a representative of an organisation or your place of work, to just writing as a representative of yourself. You're doing great though, and these newsletters are genuinely enjoyable and thought-provoking. I always remember I have something to look forward to on Sundays, even if I forget what it is until the email hits my inbox.

Just a quick note to chime in and say so many of us love your writing so much Haley. I appreciate that you make yourself vulnerable for us, but remember to take a break if you need to! We can always go back and re-read the newsletters that bring such warmth to all our Sunday’s. Take care, you’re very appreciated!
