My Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Gift: A FREE Paid Subscription to My Substack for 30 Days for my Best Followers Who Open Emails and Click Links
Have you ever wondered what I really think? Now is your chance not only to get rewarded for opening our emails, but for supporting my writings
As a free Substack subscriber, I’ve been unable to read other writers’ Substack articles that deny access to paid content. So I know how that feels, to have blocked content … well, blocked. I think to myself,
Drats! I have to pay to read!?”
I’d spend a pretty penny to pay 20 authors a month with paid subscriptions, even at $7 per month = $140/month = $1,680/year. That’s money that could go to help make up for legal fees used in the last two years that totaled over $45,000 defending myself in a medical license case that isn’t covered by malpractice insurance. That’s right, any complaint to the DEA or medical board is not necessarily covered by malpractice insurance, so it is all paid out of pocket.
I don’t know how long it will be before I feel like I have to spend less to make up for all that money paid, but at this rate, it would take just 26 years. At age 61, that means I’d have to live to be age 87 to make back all that money by not spending $7 about 20 times a month… so sad I have to think this way, but it is what it is.
Anyway, this is my gift to you - and if you cannot afford a paid subscription and you missed this offer but want to commit to being a dedicated reader, just comment or email me at therebelpatient@substack.com and I’ll give you a gift.
The sun is going down on another December Monday, and that brings me relief, to know that the evening is upon us.
During the holidays, when darkness brings new sparkles and colored lights, I am reminded of the gift of baby Jesus. It delights my soul to think of how magical times were as a child, when the world was filled with simple wonders. I used to worry about how cold the new baby would be, how messy the delivery was, and wonder if Mother Mary had labor pain.
Through the eyes of a child, we all feel that incredible fascination and delight at viewing a decorated tree with all its presents and glee. The pine smell tells stories of bellowing mountains and bears, shiny snow and stars.
That wonder was best not only as a child, but through the eyes of my children. I can’t bring back my toddlers and their excitement, but I can gift some of you a special thank you that I hope makes your heart warm.
As with all Substack subscriber accounts, the analytics show some “5-Star” followers who literally open every single article and click various links.
For every “5-Star” subscriber, I’ve gifted you a 30-day Paid Subscription. This way, you can see what you’ve been missing, and (most of all) see WHAT I REALLY THINK about each post topic. I believe that you still cannot see anything previously posted, so I hope you don’t mind when I repost some previous content.
Just be patient with me, because there’s no way to do this but manually ~ it takes quite a few clicks to scroll through hundreds of subscribers to give you a free paid subscription for 30 days. If I forget or you feel left out, just comment below and I’ll whip a free 30-day free subscription for you.
I only ask that you share:) and give me some feedback, because sometimes writing is lonely and I’m not sure what your thoughts and feedback would be.
Happy Holidays! Safe travels! And a Most Happy 2023!
