Please Help To Keep OWAD Alive in 2026 !

Dear OWAD Reader,

If OWAD has ever made you think, smile, or see the world differently, I’d like to ask for your support.

OWAD is completely independent and reader-supported. Your contribution helps cover essential costs like hosting, maintenance, and mailing—so I can continue sharing one meaningful word with you every day.

Even a small monthly amount makes a real difference. It keeps OWAD alive and growing.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at paul@smith.de or call/message me at +49 151 546 701 57. I’m always happy to hear from fellow readers.

Thank you for being part of OWAD.

Paul Smith
Founder, OWAD
