I have thought so much about how to realign myself, and my business, with my truest intentions.
I sometimes feel like the speed, and assault, of social media is leaving me in the dust, dizzy.
It's not that I can't keep up. It's that I don't really want to anymore. (long exhale)
I don't have all of the answers right now, but, I know that returning to a thoughtful, intentional newsletter is a wonderful place to begin.
Years ago I had a beautiful newsletter, and even created a free, seasonal sub-magazine, but somewhere along the way I got swept up in the social media wave, carried out to sea, and, before I knew it, lost sight of land.
It feels so good to be returning home.
I, and other featured artists and just all-around neat folks, will be interviewing interesting people, tasting different recipes, reading awesome books (online book club!), writing curious stories, sharing photography and art, taking road trips and long deep breaths...
And I mean sure, I could totally do those things alone, but, part of me thinks there might be other people who need to step outside for some fresh air, too.
I believe in the power of conscious community and non-competitive cross-pollination. I believe in making new friends from all around the world. But here's the thing: I'm also a go-to-the-library-with-a-thermos-of-hot-tea-on-a-Friday-night kind of gal, so, the giant loud mosh-pit that social media has become just isn't my jam.
I'll still be here, but make no mistake, my heart will be in this newsletter.
If you are called, here's the link to sign up for the goodness:
