Hi there everyone, Martin here, calming anxiety. This isnt a meditation. This is a thank you. The GoFundMe is raising, has raised, is doing a lot, and the Macbook is on the way. Thank you everyone. But more than that, the Anchored app, which is now in testing on Google Play, I need your help. If you have a Gmail account and want to try this out, no catch, it's absolutely free. Please email me. The address is hello@calminganxiety.org. As I say, you need to have a Gmail address. You then download it onto your android phone, and just use it daily for at least two weeks and let me know what you think. Out of everything I've done in my life, this, this one, I am certainly the proudest of.

It's a culmination of six years of calming anxiety. It's all the thoughts, the tips, the requests that you, the listener, has given me, and so in my time of difficulty, because I started losing my site quite badly a few months ago, I am decided to build the app. I couldn't drive or ride my motorbike anymore. And there is light at the end of the tunnel, says he, not being able to see that well. Surgery is booked for next month, and I'll get vision back in one eye, and then the next. And I am indebted to the National Health Service in the UK for letting me have my site back. Coding it has been fun and problematic and stressful. The biggest of text, yellow text on a black background, but I've got there, and the app is almost ready. Today, I start coding the iOS part. So thank you.

Again, if you can help out, if you want to test out this beautiful app, let me know. Hello at calminganxiety.org. And then in about three or four weeks hopefully, I'll be asking for those who are on iOS to test it as well. Again, thank you. If you donated, thank you so much. Again, there's still time if you'd like to donate, as just a way of saying thank you for all that I do. Look in the show notes, and they'll be a link to the GoFundMe. And with that, you then get lifetime access to the premium version. Again, my friends, thank you so much. And with that, I best get back to the computer and do a bit more work. Take care, have a lovely bank holiday if you're here in the UK. I'm recording this right now. It's blisteringly hot. And wherever you are in the world, truly. I'm sending you a hug, sending you a little squeeze on the shoulder. Never give up. Stay positive if you can, smile often. And then in everything we all do, be kind.
