Jason, this is quite the update! I'm grateful that life decided to give you this incredible opportunity with your (much-deserved) viral essay at the same time that the other, more devastating shoe fell. I love that you are continuing to create art and hopefully, now, you'll be able to make even more. Here's to a hopeful future, come what may!
I'm sorry to hear about your divorce. I know the chaos that such a decision can cause for your family, and for your creativity as well, but the chaos won't last forever. I'm looking forward to your new projects!
Thanks, Stace! Intellectually, I understand that the chaos is really creative fuel, but my gut isn't quite there yet. The new projects on the horizon definitely give me something to focus on!
Jason, all the best. Ty for sharing such heart-wrenching, personal information. I pray for you and look forward to your book. May all good things come to you!
Jason, thank you for sharing all of what you can, without any fake vulnerability. For whatever it's worth, it makes me feel less alone that not only I was/am going through a particularly rough patch, blended amongst great moments since October. Thanks again, and congrats on the new book, can't wait on that podcast more than I could for our one:)
Shoot, Jason, I'm so sorry about the upheaval. And also encouraged to hear there are good things on the horizon, as I know there always will be for you!
Ahh, starting over—At 50, I did the same and decided it was time to pivot and to return to work that I love. Since then, employment has been erratic. But, I am super grateful for the time because it allows me to do art and start my newsletter.
You got this, Jason! It’s going to be rough for awhile but after reading your essay, I have to doubt you’ll get through—you’ve got what it takes. Keep going!

Thanks! I'm pretty optimistic about the future; it's the present I'm struggling with right now 🤣
I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce, but if anyone can be successful at starting over at 50 creating a good life, it's you.
Thank you! I appreciate your confidence!
You're welcome!

Thank you, Molly! I may not always enjoy the ups and downs of life's ocean waves, but as long as I can keep my head above water, I'm doing okay
Well, we aren’t going to divorce you. We love it where we are with you.
Thank you, Thomas! This made me more emotional than I would've expected. I appreciate your kind encouragement!
So sorry to hear about your divorce, Jason.

Thank you, Stella! It's very motivating to see all of these kind comments and notes of encouragement.
This is a real sock in the guts. For you to have the resolve to keep moving forward is truly remarkable.
Thank you, Lee! I figure moving forward, no matter how haltingly, is better than the alternative
Talk about rerouting… you are handling this major upheaval with grace and a healthy outlook. Stay weird, my friend.
I look forward to reading your new book, Jason. Wishing you every success!
💜
Thank you, Meg!!
