The Kindness Cafe Turns One!
Happy first birthday to my Substack site ❤️
Hey, friends, and welcome to a very special post from The Kindness Cafe!
As you could tell from the title, I’ve officially had this Substack space for over a year. My little blog is now one!
I’ve posted so many fun blog posts and had wonderful interactions with y’all over the past year, and I’m definitely not planning on slowing down anytime soon. But before I start looking forward, I thought it would be fun to gather some data to show you how much The Kindness Cafe has grown!
Over the past year, I’ve gained 46 subscribers, and the post that gained the most subscribers was “Introducing…A Huge Announcement!”
My five most viewed blog posts for the year were:
“Words Have Always Been A Part Of My Life” – An Interview with Ruth Anne Acheson
“Dreams Aren’t As Far Away As You Think” – An Interview with Zoë Cottrell
And my top 3 opened posts were:
Introducing…A Huge Announcement
“Dreams Aren’t As Far Away As You Think” – An Interview with Zoe Cottrell
Some of my goals for this upcoming year include:
Finishing the second draft of my first book
Reaching 75 subscribers on Substack
Growing my online community
Having fun!
I’m excited to keep this community going strong for another year and beyond. Was there a favorite post of yours this year? Let me know in the comments below!
I’d also love to know if there’s any topics you’d like for me to talk about - whether it’s about reading, writing, or any books or movies you’d like for me to review on the Kindness Cafe.
Thank you for a wonderful year on Substack, and keep on being kind!💖

Congrats on the one year, Addie!! 🥳💕
Congratulations, Addie! You’re awesome, well deserved! I love your voice and all the kindness you share. Hard to pick a favorite but I love your roundups as I’ve learned about some new wonderful music from you, your interviews with new authors are inspiring to hear and the food writing post was super fun and helpful. 🫶Wishing you good vibes.
