Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Ray.

Thank you so much, as always, for joining me today.

And if you're new to the show, welcome. So happy to have you.

I just wanted to quickly have a little sappy moment because I'm a sappy

girly. And last night I was sitting on our back deck and just enjoying the sunset and really

reflecting on how grateful I am to be able to do what I do for a living. And that is because of all

of you. And whether you watch the show on YouTube or you listen

via Spotify or Apple Podcasts or something else like that, or you watch on Facebook or you watch on

Snapchat, I just wanted to tell you how much I truly appreciate you. And I know that some of you

have been with me for a long time. I started my show, well, not, it's developed a lot.

But when I used to do like makeup and reviews and story times,

I started all of that in like summer of 2012, I'm pretty sure.

Um, yeah, like August 2nd, 2012.

And I just cannot believe how long I've been able to do this and what it's grown

into. And I'm so, so beyond grateful to have such a supportive audience. I mean, your guys' comments

every week just are so kind, so encouraging, and inspire me to continue doing the work that I'm doing

that is not only very enjoyable for me,

it feels very rewarding and I feel like I'm doing meaningful work.

And I don't, you know, take it for granted that that is all because of all of you.

And I just wanted to truly, truly from the bottom of my heart say thank you.

And also, I do realize that things have changed a lot since 2012 and that nowadays there is so much content available online.

There's so many amazing content creators, especially in the true crime space.
