Hi, everyone. As many of you know, BlogClan doesn’t like to get political unless it’s our own deputy and medicine cat elections, and this won’t be changing. But for some of our clanmates, who have been hearing voices and opinions from all sides, the past few days and particularly last night have been incredibly stressful, so I wanted to take a moment out of your day to take a step back and remind you to take care of yourself <3

There’s going to be a lot of talking outside of the blog over the next few weeks from the news, from the adults, maybe even from some of your friends. You might feel scared and you might start to feel you don’t know what to do or who to listen to, but I want you to know something:
Someone, somewhere, was thinking about your well-being last night. They thought about you and your future and they wanted you to be safe.

That person may also feel scared but they are going to keep going and keep their head up for you. They believe in you and all of the wonderful things you’re going to do in your life.
We here on the blog – we believe in you too. You, who are alive and chatting away with us, are precious and cherished by so many people. Each and every one of us here believes that your life has meaning, no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you believe in. We are all humans living on the same planet and breathing the same air, and that’s such a miraculous thing <3

The blog will always be somewhere you can retreat to for a break, even beyond these stressful times. I’m sure some of you may have seen the news already that our beloved Kate Cary has hung up her hat as an Erin. After 21 years of bringing the Clans to life, she has decided to move on and try other writing ventures. Maybe it’s a bit redundant to say, but I know that we are all so, so grateful to her, Cherith, Vicky, and the rest of the Erin Hunter team for bringing us together with their stories. Have fun, Kate! We can’t wait to see what story you share with us next <3
And don’t worry, the blog isn’t going anywhere. Kate wants to keep the blog up for as long as we want the blog to be up <3
With love,
BlogTeam
Thank you everyone for this message! <333
Thank you for this moddos:) We’ll be alright, I’m sure. Love y’all! If y’all are ever feeling scared, I send you all the love and cookies my computer can give. The Blog has always been a positive place, and we have to do our best to encourage one another to keep it that way. BlogClan has a sort of magic so to speak in the regard. Again, love y’all, and sending treats and huggos! You are loved SOOOO MUCH <3

Bye Kate!
We will miss you!
My hugs and best wishes going out to all. I don’t know what I can say, really. I’m scared too, even though it’s not my country. I think the best think I can say is that we’re all here together, in our little corner of the internet. They can’t take that away.
I agree <3
Wait a second…KATE ISN'T WRITING WARRIORS ANYMORE? 😭I'll read whatever she writes next <3
<33333 this made me feel so much better, thank you.
Thanks Embix, this helps <33
Thank you, i really needed this! <333
Happy Mail!!! I really need this- the wholesome photos and words were such a well-needed pick-me-up. I’m happy to see this tradition returning (perhaps?)
Thank you so much BlogTeam for spreading such a deep and important message. I know this week has been stressful for many people, and my hugs and support go out to all of you. I hope you can all found a bit of comfort and reassurance in BlogClan <3
Might be a little bit much for us to return to a regular Happy Mail posting. Then again, we did create BlogTeam Helpers… so it might just make its return! I just felt like a Happy Mail was sorely needed, just as it was when I wrote my first Happy Mail when COVID started.
That’s fair- BlogTeam is certainly running a lot right now! There just seems something so special and uplifting about Happy Mail, so thanks again for making this post (:
Thank you blogteam for this lovely and impeccably timed message! Hugs to anyone feeling under the weather today regardless of the reason, make sure to take breaks and look after yourself <3
We’ll miss Kate! And thanks for the lovely message Embix. <3
😭😭😭
NOOO SHE’S QUITTING :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
😭😭😭
Thank you so much for writing this message, Blogteam! It could not come at a better time and I really needed it <33
