A LETTER TO MY SUBSCRIBERS

​

​For the past nine years, Fuel Your Mind Friday (formerly Fired Up Friday) has been a space where I’ve had the privilege of sharing thoughts, ideas, and inspiration with you every week. Your support, feedback, and engagement have been the fuel behind this blog, and I’m deeply grateful for the journey we’ve taken together.

Today, I’m writing to share an update. After much reflection, I’ve decided to pause Fuel Your Mind Friday as I shift my focus and energy to another project close to my heart—a blog I co-run with my wife and business partner, Pema Sherpa, called The Daily Buddhist. This weekly blog is published every Wednesday and explores mindfulness, wisdom, and practical insights inspired by Buddhist philosophy. It’s a space where we aim to help readers find balance, clarity, and connection in their daily lives.

While Fuel Your Mind Friday will no longer have new posts, the archives will remain accessible for you to revisit whenever you’d like. I encourage you to check out The Daily Buddhist and join me on this new journey. It’s a continuation of the mission we started here—to inspire inner transformation, encourage personal growth, and ignite meaningful change.

You can find The Daily Buddhist here.

Thank you for being such an important part of my life and work. I hope to see you on Wednesdays as we continue this shared exploration of ideas and inspiration in a new form.

With gratitude,

Brendan

p.s. Thanks to all those who subscribed since the beginning! This blog has been my creative outlet since 2016. It gave me hope for a more creative career path when I had nowhere else to turn. And you reading it made my dream back then seem tangible! See you in the next chapter!
