About This Space

Welcome. You’ve found a quiet corner of the internet that updates every Wednesday—barring the occasional goat emergency, midnight brainstorm, or divine nudge to send something sooner.

Here, you’ll get real stories, honest reflections, and unexpected insights—whether I’m sharing life on the farm, deep-digging into layered topics, or following a thread of faith and curiosity to see where it leads.

What You Can Expect

• Spam-free updates, never more than a couple times a week.

• New posts on Wednesdays, with occasional bonus essays when something just can’t wait.

• Free content with heart and depth—always.

Why Subscribe?

Subscribing unlocks more than just posts. It opens a door.

• Paid subscribers get access to deeper newsletters I don’t share publicly. These are where I dive further into behind-the-scenes stories, controversial insights, or sensitive topics that need more care—and more context.

• You can comment as a paid reader, share your perspective, ask questions, or even shape future posts. Your voice matters here.

• Founder members get something even rarer: early access to my books-in-progress—before they’re published—and full access to the post archive, including all past premium content.

Why Now?

You can read for free, and I’m glad you do. But if something in these words feels like a warm-from-the-oven cookie—the kind you don’t want to miss again—then maybe it’s time to subscribe.

Because the truth is: some of my best, boldest, and most vulnerable work lives behind the subscriber wall. Not to gatekeep—just to gather closely with those who want to go deeper.

Melissa’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
