I WANTED TO drop in for a minute on your Saturday afternoon to tell you that, because of you, the Journey in Place Kickstarter has exceeded all expectations. I was hoping for 300 backers, and we are way beyond that.

The project started here, with you amazing people, and it ends here. I’m just so thankful to have this community. You help me turn my wild dreams into reality.

When I looked at Kickstarter’s analytics earlier today, they show that, by far, supporters for the project have come from Substack. Thank you so much for your strong-hearted and everlasting support.

The Kickstarter ends at 10:25 pm tonight, 10/25/25. We have five more hours to see where this goes, but I wanted to drop in and thank you with all my heart.

I’m so happy to reach the finish line. Releasing books on Kickstarter has been a strange and sometimes soul-crushing thing to navigate, a different way of doing books, new to me. We’re all trying to navigate these strange, fast-changing, head-spinning times.

If you want to follow the campaign these last hours, a link is below.

Meanwhile, I hope you’re having a golden fall day where you are, enjoying the monarch migration and roadside asters and wild apple trees—all the good things.

Let’s enjoy our lives.

With love and gigantic appreciation,

Janisse

P.S.

And if you miss the Kickstarter, no worries. By the end of November the book should be available in the marketplace.
