Are you getting the Monday Love Letters?
This is what I do instead of blogging…
because you know what, the blog space is noisy. And really, I think mostly no one cares. So, I made the shift to sending an email once a week. Only to the people who ask for it. I know they care, because every week, people write back. That’s fun.
But then, after a lot of months, people started asking me how to find stuff I’d written before… ummmm…. check your email archive? Then, my Mom asked. And you all know that we’ll do anything for our mamas.
Hence, the Monday Love Letter Archive.
Read to your heart’s content. Share on Facebook. Find something you thought you’d lost, like that caramel recipe that’s so danged popular.
Here they are, all the things:
