Your list is so good, and makes me proud to be a writer. Here are two more that came to mind as I read and reread yours:

* You gain a voice the world never knew you had.

* Your tribe consists of some wonderful new friends who make a difference in your life.

Wow, Charlotte. I’ve been in a bit of a dip. Rolling and circling back to unhelpful thoughts and this call to pencils has been wonderful for my sense of purpose and wellbeing. THANK YOU ♥️

Thanks! Made it in one piece and the ten-hour flight was actually not awful.
