I don’t believe in karma. I know lots of wonderful people who have suffered great tragedies. And known, well, lousy folks who seem to have an unending streak of fabulous luck.

I don’t believe that everyone will find love. Some people do. Some don’t. I rejoice for those who do! But, alas, not everyone does.

But I do believe in serendipity!

So when not one but two of my readers asked me virtually the same question within a few minutes of each other, I knew serendipity had stepped in.

Which means I’m in the awkward position of writing ABOUT Medium once more. (I really try to be sparing in my writing about Medium, but have written a few stories on this topic over the past few weeks.)

If this story wasn’t important, I assure you I would not be writing it.

In response to this recent story, both Tony Dyson and Audrey Bath ask a version of:

As READERS, what can we do to support the writers we read and follow given the new Medium payment plan structure? How can we support YOU and our other favorite writers, Bonnie?

They both clarified that they were 100% asking literally not rhetorically.
