INTRODUCING AN AMAZING and WONDERFUL NEW SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM that is a total game changer and a breath of fresh air!
Substack spent a long time building, testing , innovating and perfecting a new social media platform which they launched recently called Notes, that is intended to be a much more positive and respectful space for the sharing of ideas and almost anything else between all of us and the world.
I just published my first series of notes on Substack Notes, and would love for you to check out my work on this new forum!
Here are the links to the notes I have posted recently, which I am sharing with you as another way of connecting with my writing and our wonderful “Dawning Light” and Substack community.
“The Art Of Relentless, Singular Focus” My note in response to a very well written and clearly laid out story about the power of focusing every bit of one’s time, energy and attention on achieving one important target goal at a time with practical points on how to achieve it. This article is one of the most helpful for me in a long time.
About A Story By Tom Ryan about his heart and his roller coaster ride in dealing with it. In my note I talk about my own recent scares about my heart and what happened….and comment on the beautiful, touching story by Tom Ryan on his wonderful perspective on heart issues.

“What One Writer Did To Go From O to 5 K subscribers in 100 Days by using a simple formula” By Karen Cherry in “Pubstack Success”In my note, I write about how deeply this article inspired me because if one person can climb the mountain, I believe it’s possible the rest of us can too.
“The Recipes and pictures for the delicious homemade treats I write about in a recent post: “Srtawberries and Cream” This note was in response to many requests I received for the recipes I describe in my recent post” Strawberries and Cream: The importance of Savoring the Simple Things of Life” which you can read HERE

My Reply to a comment from a reader about how to deal with frustration on the spiritual pathA direct reply from my heart to the reader in distress that was left on my post “Heart Of The Universe and Now Is the Time To Awaken And Be Free” which you can read HERE
My note of expressing appreciation for the writing and stories of Tom Ryan and his newsletter”Tom Ryan, Author: Letters From New Hampshire And Beyond” In this note I share why Tom Ryan is one of my favorite writers whose work I know will give me a great read, profound new understandings and a heart opening experience as he shares about his life in rural New Hampshire and adventures around the country with his four legged friends.

Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress or quick questions. It is also a space where I comment on other great writers and share about their work with you…because I care about you and this forum gives me a new way to connect with you!
NOTES is a space where you can comment and add pictures in a loving, positive and respectful forum that we all wish big platforms like Twitter could be like. This new platform is public and open to the world, and was created by Substack for anyone, not just newsletter publishers like myself, to join in.

Substack is constantly looking for new ways to make a positive difference in the world, and spent a long time building, testing and perfecting this new public forum. You are invited to jump in anytime…its something sweet and wonderful created by folks who genuinely seeking to serve the world. Enjoy!
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to The Dawning Light, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of The Dawning Light can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
