I feel like you're the anchor of Substack. Always piping in with a kind word, always promoting what should be seen. I often tell myself...I should be more like Kyle while I'm on here. Thanks for being you.

I second this. Kyle, your generosity of spirit is one of your biggest strengths—and a gift to so many of us. The world is better because you (and MK) are in it.

“Stability and security are enhanced by the collective mass of our anchors.“

I really like the notion of anchors, Kyle. In the stuff I’ve read about human development/relations, the word “attachment” appears a lot with the meaning of providing a secure base. We who have such anchoring attachments in our lives have much to be thankful for.

Cheers to you and your family for an excellent holiday season. I can see in those beautiful photos that you’re well on your way!

I’ve got to echo Perlot’s sentiment. I’m always impressed with the energy you inject into this platform. There’s an authenticity to it, a genuine support of others that is inspiring and appreciated.

It matters, man, and I thank you for it.

I really appreciate that anchors can be both single-interactions and long-term relationships. That expansive look at what and who we have in our lives to be grateful for is deeply powerful.
