Email Archive
(like a blog, but not)
I hate knowing I've missed everything before I joined an email list. I want to binge!!!
So I'm putting my emails here, in case you're the same.
If you aren't on the email list, you can get these right in your inbox (and a few days before they show up here)!
We don't sell your info or spam you. You can easily unsubscribe at any time without having to go through 467 annoying steps.
Well, last week was a week, wasn't it?
In my neck of the woods, we had a Monday holiday.
Then two snow days.
Then, finally, a day of school!
...and then another snow day.
We only had a few flurries last year, so these snows that dropped enough for sledding--and canceled school!--were a BIG...
Happy New Year! I can still say that, right? I mean, my holiday decorations are still up.
I hope you were able to get some downtime for yourself over the holiday.
I did. At least, I did after I decided to slow roll into 2024 instead of trying to get all of 2024 planned while also trying to manage...
I'm not proud of this, but I used to be an envious little twit.
I found it hard to be genuinely happy for my friends when good things happened in their careers.
I mean, I wasn't a total ass-hat about it.
I was happy for them. And I'd congratulate them and celebrate the news.
But inside I was...
When I was little, I thought people said "It's a doggie-dog world."
I knew from the context it meant something negative.
I wasn't clear on why dogs were involved. Maybe it just meant not good for humans? Like how if something's "gone to the dogs" it was no longer good?
So I figured if something...
So, the world’s on fire. Even with my limited news diet, I know this.
And we’re all just supposed go on being productive?
How?
The thing is, I actually really want to be productive right now.
Because what I want more than anything is to re-write that “always be productive”...
I was absolutely certain I sent a weekly email last week.
I would've bet on it.
Aaaaannnnd....I would've lost. Because I definitely did not.
It's the kind of thing I could really beat myself up about.
And that's exactly what I would've done to myself in the past.
Somewhere in my formative years,...
How many times did you ask yourself this week, "whyyyyyyyy do I have to do SO MANY THINGS?"
Life as an adult is exhausting and overwhelming.
I wish I could tell you that all vanishes when you start a business. But then the pants on my lyin' butt would catch fire, and I do not want that headache.
...At 10:15 pm last night (Thursday), I started this email.
But my goal is to send emails out on Thursday. During the day.
Theoretically, I should’ve made it. I had a draft done earlier this week.
The trouble was, I simply couldn’t finish it. Even though I really like writing.
This was...
A short, slim nightstand lived between the twin beds of sisters for at least two generations. What secrets was it privvy to?
The first sisters I know of were my mom and aunt. But for all I know, it may have been in a room with my grandmother and her sister before that.
The second pair was me and...
