What's YOUR Why?

Reasons + Seasons Of Love + Support

You might have noticed I haven’t been posting as much the past couple of weeks. It’s not intentional, but life has been life-ing. (And plumbing has been plumbing-ing. Fun.)

Long story short, I plan to get back on schedule very soon. Maybe as soon as tomorrow. A team of plumbers are due to arrive any minute to replace my house’s original plumbing.

Once that’s completed—possibly by end of day—I’ll be able to get back to doing what I love doing—creating and curating posts and videos—and stop worrying about stuff around the house.

In the meantime, I wanted to welcome all the new free subscribers and send a special thanks to all the recent paid subscribers. Your support means the world to me…and is greatly appreciated as I jumpstart my next personal and professional chapters.

Good stuff is happening. And even more is in the works.

Until I’m ready to share those details, I’d like to share a sweet note a new subscriber sent me yesterday….of why he decided to support Collide Press. Thank you, brother!

If you’re able, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

If you’re unable but would still like to watch more of my work, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to comp you a free month. No questions asked.

Make it a great day, guys!
Clint 🌈✌️
