A Place To Heal

Dear Fellow Etsy Refugees,

It has been a rough week for many of us who have chosen to seek refuge outside of EtsyCorp, mostly due to the coralgate scandal which has rightfully upset a large portion of sellers.

As I write this, I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.  I'm hoping this can be a place where we can come together to support one another in this difficult transition, free from censorship, muting, deletion, and undue criticism of our motives and integrity.  I hope you will join me in crying, venting, celebrating, laughing, and hopefully, finding a way forward.

Leaving a place that was like a second home to you, and closing up the shop you worked so hard on, is an emotional experience, and I know I sure could use some support and camaraderie!

Welcome and grab a seat, a cup of coffee, and a box of kleenex if necessary.

Love,
Joan
