This letter is going to be short and sweet.
As you read from last week’s letter, my NakedPastor Facebook page was hacked into, and in one minute I lost 100,000 followers. I’m still in talks with Meta trying to retrieve it, but nothing yet.
I have been overwhelmed with so much support. From YOU!
To help support me, many people have bought some of my products and even donated towards my work. Others have followed me on Instagram. Incredible! Thank you so much.
I’ve also had tons of people offering advice and even trying to connect me directly to Meta. Nothing has worked... yet! I’ve heard some people got their hacked accounts back overnight, while for others it took months, and for others they never got them back and had to start all over again.
Whatever happens, I’m trying to maintain a peaceful equanimity. It’s not easy experiencing such loss. I’m allowing myself to be honest and authentic about it and truly grieve. I’m also allowing myself to look ahead and see how I can overcome this monumental setback.
Knowing that there are so many of you out there who love and appreciate my work, and even ME, compels me to not give up, but keep making art and sharing my thoughts and feelings and life with you.
I’ve had some people say, “Don’t give up! You’re changing lives! You did mine!” Or, “You saved my life. Don’t stop!” “I’ll follow you wherever you are. I need your art in my life. Thank you.” “What you do is so important. Please keep on!” And so much more.
How can I say no to that? How can I give up?
