What a delightful and unexpected treat!! I'm a newbie here but reading your blogs recently has been an utter guilty pleasure. I really enjoy your take on controversial topics - you always keep it clean, open minded, understanding and rational. You're a cracking writer! Also, I hope you and yours are keeping well, safe and healthy. Chin up buttercup, all the way from "sunny" Scotland ;)

WAIT. I am living for this interactive little Taryn abode you built! Honestly seeing an email from you was a little moment of peace for me today in this anxiety ridden day - so thanks lady! Also sending some peaceful vibes to you and all fellow subscribers in the abode! ... And maybe also sending a tall glass of wine, because yeah. 🍷🤘🏽🖤

Hi Taryn,

Loving this interactive feature. It’s pretty cool to see some of the other wonderful people that are subscribed to you too.

Fingers crossed that you get the leader which you voted for. I have been keeping up to date from the uk and have been so nervous. So, I dread to think how you guys have been feeling the past few days.

I’m from the uk and we just got put in to a mandatory 4 week lockdown where we can only go out for excercise or for essentials like food shop/ healthcare appointments. The thing is, last time they announced the 3 week lockdown back in March, it ended up being 3 months! So, I’m not very optimistic rn and I can already feel my anxiety levels creep up.

Anyway sorry for the long post lol. I’ve been subbed to your emails since earlier this year and they have been something I look forward to reading. I just wanted to say thank you.

And I hope you, Cam, Riggs and Frankie are all doing well during this crazy and surreal time. Much love from a small town on the east coast. X

Thx for your words Taryn!!! I can’t imagine how crazy its over there. I am from Spain and I’ve barely slept for the past two days. It might be weird but I feel this really personal even if I am not from the US. Biden might win (🍀) but... there are (at least) 67 million people in the most powerful country all over the world that still voted consciously for Trump, not even wondering how under his government so many social groups have their human rights jeopardized. Lots of love from here ♥️

Saying that today is stressful is an understatement. Everyone make sure to eat if you can, and stay hydrated :)

Living for the interactiveness - feel like we’re in a little safe club here. I’m NERVOUSING for these results and I’m not even from America? Also the US electoral system is confusing AF the counting of votes is so intense - I’m away to sleep in Scotland and I SO hope when I wake up Biden is winning / has won?(look see - very confused by the system 😂😂) sending love to you and cammie (and the dogs )

Ah! Appreciate that and glad you like it. I like how simple it is <3

yay! go taryn. I'm biting my nails, because even though the news looks positive on Biden 's electoral count, the battle is far from over, there will be several lawsuits, the Supreme Court will probably be involved, there will be angry people out in the streets, etc. I am staying home and likely under a blanket for a bit.

Completely agree, and you get yourself the comfiest blanket you can find.

I love that this is so interactive now! Thank you for your kind words and I hope that you are keeping your head up amidst this chaos. I'm hoping for a win for Biden. But mainly a dem flip of senate control because that is arguably even more important than the presidency.
