I enjoy these periodic peeks at substacks that I would never seek on my own. Lots of ideas out there in areas that never would occur to me naturally. Thank you,

My own "art" substack https://davidecklein.substack.com/ has been dormant until recently, and these "periodic peeks" at others are helping to stimulate more activity on my part. Most appreciated.

Dear magical Substack community,

I launched a series on Substack called “They Moved the Needle” a month ago, where I invite guests to share their journey of getting their first paid user or paid client.

It can be about SaaS products, consulting, coaching, online courses, e-commerce, or selling physical goods. Basically, I am very very very actively looking for people who have moved the needle in some way and are willing to share their story as a guest post.

Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 and hoping some magic happens.

Thank you! This is awesome. It's like scrolling through the news only different. I read new things about new people - and instead of getting grumpy - I feel a bit more content. Well worth the scroll! :)

This post is a favorite read each weekend. There are many gifted authors in Substack. I should start following these positive people, the political climate is too toxic.

You can view the Book of Kells in Dublin. It's a great example of art in the margins. At the time it was written most could not read. They relied on the pictures. The images are still in use today. I have a scarf with those images. I think they were wood cuts, if I'm not mistaken.

I never leave home without, leaving my phone home. Nothing is so important that I can't wait to hear, when, I get home. The crisis's, the emergencies, the need to speak with someone right now, all of these things can wait until I return. 1964 to present, these crisis's, emergencies and someone's, all these scenarios have remained the same, as well as the urgency of when to know, it all can wait, until, I get home.

Thank you. I seldom read your Substack, sorry, no time, but i like this post. Sydney Hirsch picture reminds impressionism and ancient art cannot be boring, it is real art, not somebody's black square, as a highest point of modern art, and estate sales were very good for us, immigrants in this country, trying to make a cheap apartment into our first home here.

I think that it would have been nice to have everybody have pictures in it. More memorable that way. I also doodle as I write which helps my mind relax enough to trust the paper

I LOVED the commentary about Medieval art in the margins of manuscripts. Thank you for this. It is a very thoughtful and interesting posting.

What an exhibition of insightful and interesting topics and those having fun exploring them. So much to experience and only one life to do it. Maybe that it what eternity is for. It is inspiring to see folks engaged in and writing about things they love.
