Dearest Waking Dreamer,

I had a medical emergency earlier this week that landed me in the ER. I am currently stable and on the mend but recovery has been slow and difficult.

Due to this unforeseen circumstance and the energy required to recover, I was unable to finish the latest issue of this newsletter. I will keep you posted as my recovery moves along and will issue refunds for this month if necessary (if my recovery takes a while).

Thank you so much for your understanding ❤️

Meg 🐝

Rest assured, I'm ok and have been on the mend but I want to talk about my experience because when I was in the thick of it I really needed someone who knew what I was experiencing. Please note that this is not a typical Dream...
