Tips

You’ve stumbled upon an exciting piece of Pep Talks history: The tips page.

Back in the early days of this website (2015-2016), there was nothing here except a blog and a tip jar.

I would go out and exploriment with life, write about what I learned and give readers the option to say “thank you” with a tip.

To my surprise, despite this site’s very small readership, tips were quite frequent, and ranged all the way from $20 to $1000.

Both receiving them and seeing the impact some of the writing made is what gave me the encouragement to write for hours on end, knowing my experiences could be of value not only to me, but to someone else.

Nowadays, this page is but a footnote in something bigger.

But if my work has helped, inspired or delighted you in any way, and you’d like to show me some love, know that every tip I receive continues to make my day and encourage me.

Or, to say it in the immortal words of a wise woman who prefers to remain anonymous:

“Just put the tip in. See how it feels.”
