I am going to try to clear up a few things for anyone new to the Stack but first of all😘😘😘!! Thank you for being here, you are simply THE BEST. If you like my writing you can support my work by subscribing, that would be fantastic! You can become a free subscriber, that’s totally cool, or go all the way and become a paid subscriber (the price of a latte) to join my Membership Circle. You can find out more about all that here or
I have chosen Substackto hold my work because of the wonderful community I can be a part of as well as the one I am building. Through Substack you are able to access my articles in three ways:
An email into your inbox. Just a heads up that some email providers, like Gmail, may crop the post so you aren’t necessarily getting the whole thing, therefore you may prefer to read it one of the other ways. Also, if you don’t want your inbox clogged up I suggest you move on to #2.
The Substack app. If you’re OK to have yet another app this is the best route to go as you can easily like and comment on my articles as well as access many other writers. Audience participation, aka commenting, is optional & scary but it is also very rewarding as it fosters connection and draws us into community. Also, if you use the app you can then choose, via your settings within the app, to receive my posts only in the app, which will free up your email inbox. All you need to do is switch smart notifications on.
If you want to see all my articles you can check out my Substack website here. As a paid subscriber, along with my immense gratitude, you have access to all my articles any time.
Lastly, Dear Friend, there is a difference between viewing an article on your phone or the computer so check them both out to see which you prefer.
I KNOW THIS MAY BE CONFUSING but once we get the hang of it it will be fantastic. Any questions email me at donnamcarthur@substack.com.

Thanks for hanging with me, I appreciate it!
