FGK has been out for a few hours in quite a few places, but it’s Midnight ET here which means that Finding Gene Kelly is automatically downloading for ebook preorders and on KU now in many more! . Ah! . What can I say that I haven’t already? Nothing really, I’m so so thankful to all of you. For the reels, the posts, the reviews, the yelling that’s made FGK making its way out into the world so so worth it and so much less scary than I anticipated. I’ll just wrap myself in a cocoon of y’all if that’s okay. . And I guess, I’d say to the 2021 version of me. Thank you for recognizing we couldn’t query any more, that our reserves were gone, that we needed a win, and for actually doing something about it. Thank you for making this choice. I wish when you were waffling and having anxiety about it after surgery I could tell you about all the gorgeous people we’d meet, the adventures we’d have, and all the joy it’d bring us too so you didn’t sweat that “am I tanking my chances” so much. No, you aren’t. This was the path you were supposed to be in. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else right now with any other version of this story. . Thank you to my friends who’ve put up with a very insecure me. I’m very insecure about how insecure I can be and I appreciate you putting up with even that insecurity. 🫠 and for just being the best cheerleaders. . Okay. I think I’ve said enough. Five years. Two excision surgeries. Countless flares. One rupturing uterus. And the first edition of Finding Gene Kelly is yours now. 💛💛 I hope it’s the hug you’ve all been to me. If you are dealing with anything like Evie and me I hope you feel seen and validated. I hope you remember you are enough as you are. You are loved. You deserve your daydreams and you deserve to find your Gene Kelly, no matter what that looks like to you. . Thank you for helping me find mine. 💛🌸🍑
