Hey Portal Pals! Do you have any recommendations for writing apps for iPhone? Hopefully with a free version so I can try it before taking on any subscriptions. And if you only write on a computer, what is your preferred software to use? I have only ever used MS-Word for writing projects.

Founding members were going to be grandfathered in at no cost. It made sense on paper, but then I realized something. The members here are on one of two paths. The first is the path you're already on—writing, storytelling, spiritual growth, and the sacred process of finding your voice. The Language Portal and Sacred Writing Sessions exist for exactly that. The second path starts when the manuscript is written. It's practical, detailed, and technical, and covers topics such as formatting, ISBNs, cover design, Amazon KDP, and print specs. A completely different set of questions that deserve a completely different space. So instead of changing what The Language Portal is, I built something new. Self-Publishing Skool opens today. It's $11/month, but if you're a Language Portal member with a finished manuscript or one on the way, I'd like to offer you free access to the founding group. Just drop a 📚 in the comments and I'll invite you into the publishing path. Which path are you on right now: still writing or ready to dive into all the publishing details?

I may have mentioned Skool a time or two at Pam's Ladies Happy Hour (the other Pam). Welcome to Black Swift Vineyards on the beautiful Okanagan Lake. @Dana Bosch and me in the Vineyard.

Father's Day looks different depending on your experience. I'll be celebrating with my son today. He's an amazing Dad to my granddaughter. I'm also celebrating my Dad who transitioned 8 years ago (my Mom 12). They had the most amazing marriage and truly loved each other and believed in one another. I was fortunate to grow up in a home where we'd catch my parents hugging and dancing in the kitchen. My sons also had them as good role models for a healthy relationship. I am grateful for that. My Dad adopted my older sister and me when I was three-years old, and he and I had a complicated relationship during my late childhood and teenage years. He set the bar really high, which is why I have strong work ethics, deep inner convictions, and a zest for life. These characteristics weren't developed through good parenting but rather in defence of his military training. I became resilient, responsible, and self-reliant. Oddly enough, he was exactly the father I needed to become who I am today. Who are you celebrating today? 💜💜💜

There is huge value in crafting and delivering your Signature Talk, it is an opportunity missed by many entrepreneurs and business owners. @Ben Sherry is hosting a 60-minute workshop Build Your Signature Talk, next week. Wednesday, June 24 · 8pm GMT+8 ~ 1pm CET ~ 8am EDT Co-host: @Brandon Decremer of @ Evergreen Foundations I want to share this with you, in case it's something you'll find valuable and if you're not in Ben's community. We all have a Signature Talk that will open the doorway to more clients, especially high-ticket ones. We have blindspots in our business (and life) and don't always see the obvious strands and through line that make up our most valuable Signature Talk. "Experiences that establish trust can be the difference between a high-ticket sale and just another name on an email list." ~ Ben Sherry In 60 minutes, you'll walk away with: → An understanding of what a signature talk is, and why it matters. → A simple, tested 4-part structure for a bangin' signature talk. → Your own story, written and validated in real time (limited spots). → The key principle that decides 80% of your impact. Most workshops give you the what and why, then sell the how. Ben is giving you the how for free (for now). Drop a 💜 if this is exactly what you need in your business right now.
