Omg! The devil is a liar and a hater! Obviously you’re doing something right Isis. Keep on keeping on 💕 I pray that everything the enemy attempted to steal shall be returned 10 fold! It’s only up from here!

A HATER FOR SUREEE!! I was like "waitt.... What did I do?!" LOL The funny thing is, God really turns what the enemy means for evil into GOOD!! I've been telling Michael that I wanted to start fresh and grow something "from scratch" again. I had no idea it would be our community, but I'm up for the challenge! Thank you sis!

I will!! I think right now, if you happen to personally know someone who was subscribed, just send them a little text and remind them to resubscribe! If not, doing this -- being supportive and engaging -- is more than enough!

If you expect God to turn everything for your good then, he will — a whole bar and truth. So sorry this happened, they tried to derail you but they've lost.

Hello Isis, today is Friday, February 14, 2025. I received an email with your name on it inviting me to sign up for “nounsandnotes”. I just want to verify whether or not it’s from you. Thanks! 😎

This is shocking news, Isis, but look at you SHINING! So long as you are shining, the hacker has lost.

Shocking and strange! But you are right! If there's anything the last year has taught me, it's that very few things are worth the disturbance of our peace! Thank you! So grateful to have you here!

Whoa! I'm so sorry to hear, Isis. I was concerned when I got the email of unsubscription and refund. Your post here shows strength and courage, and I applaud you for being so readily forgiving in the midst of this. I hope and pray you recover and then thrive. 🙏💚🫂

Oh no, Isis! I’m so sorry this happened to you. The Internet is a beautiful…and strangely awful at times place. I’m glad to see your perspective be so bright 💜. All will be well again. In fact, it already is 🤗.

It's okay! Truly! Though I do appreciate your genuine love and empathy!!

Strange indeed! Because I announced my leave from social media, I was so excited to log in this morning and see how many community members from Instagram would be joining us here! Imagine my surprise! LOL for a second, my heart did sink. I thought I had did /said something wrong!!

Anywho! I'm at peace now and so happy to see you here!!

I received the email yesterday, and I thought oh no, did I do something to make you upset to unsubscribe me and refund me the amount for they year 🥹 but then I see this & I’m so sorry. My first thought was “who would do this to Isis” but now we know. Again I’m so sorry, and this happened to a former client of mine and she restarted started from scratch again.

I just want to encourage you that yes, it may not feel good but like you said God is able to turn the bad into something Good. Cause that’s the type of God HE IS! He’s also able to restored & bless you double. All in Jesus’ name!

Oh no! I'm so sorry you were one of the many people removed, but I'm SO happy and grateful you returned! You did absolutely NOTHING! I'm trying to contact substack to see if there's a way to reactivate paid subscriptions at least! Prayers up that there's something they can do! I don't even know how someone could have gotten into this account! My password was kind of basic, but I didn't think it was guessable! Thank you so much for the encouragement Marie! Love you!

I'm so sorry that this happened. Growing anything is always challenging and mean people are just always lurking. But you can't have a testimony without the test so I'm glad you saw the positive side. If God be for you, who can be against you? Saying a prayer for you, hoping no real damage was done.

Thank you so much, friend!! I'm still checking, but everything looks fine!! I was concerned that they could get access to my strip account/subscriber data!! And from the alerts I got, they tried! But luckily I have 2-factor on there!! God will us this for the glory of our community! I;m excited to see what He has up his sleeve!

Isis, so glad I found you!!! It absolutely sucks that this happened, people can be pretty evil; but as you said, what the enemy meant for evil, God will surely make good! I look forward to your fresh start...

Speaking of, I caught a glimpse of your post about making your hiatus from IG permanent as I was going into airplane mode for my flight. Once I landed and went back to fully read it, you were already gone. I came straight here to see if you'd deleted this too...

So glad you didn’t. There’s just something about your spirit I wasn’t ready to completely lose.

Lawdhamercy! Isis, your “oh well” is inspiring.

I haven’t read the comments, so this might be redundant or actually unsolicited. I just had to do an email migration which I didn’t know was possible-basically my website archived email and was able to retrieve them and direct them to my new email-I thought I’d lost the emails.

Here’s the unsolicited advice, for after you’ve taken a breather. If you’ve emailed us, email us again and invite us back. I mean I never left…wooty woo, but you know what Im saying.

First, I’d like to start by acknowledging how admirable your mindset is. Your positive perspective in despite of speaks volume to your heart posture + vision!

Ironically, I was justtt speaking to my mom yesterday on this topic: conflict is confirmation.

As we know, the enemy has its tactics. To steal, kill, & destroy. Therefore, he wouldn’t be attacking anything that’s meaningless. & the audacity to be glorifying God’s kingdom?! Oh boy, that’ll mess the devil up!

So, this is a reminder (in which I confidently feel you’re well aware of) that God’s in control over it all.

Your vulnerability, transparency & authenticity have been something I’ve admired over the years of being connected virtually.

So God bless ‘em. However, no hack can halt what’s holy. Your obedience is not obsolete. Your confidence is not crushed. If anything, this could be added fuel to your faith + a testimony like Romans 8:28 🫶🏽

God’s doing a great work, my girl!!

So sorry this happened, and I’m glad you’re here. You’re obviously doing the right thing if the devil thought he could come and show off. Like who does he think he is?

Can’t wait to see the more you’ll be doing.

Wow. I literally just wrote a devotional on loss this morning then come in and see this. I was reading about the 3 Hebrew boys and reflected on the fact that the only thing they lost in the fire (where King Nebuchadnezzar planned to kill them) were the ties that had them bound. May this test become an even greater testimony lovely. We'll keep showing up for you but (prayerfully) you know that already!
