🍰 an anniversary compilation

Thirty-eight things I made, loved + thought about this year

One year and 52 issues ago, I started sharing three things I am making, loving + thinking about every Sunday morning. To be honest, I am pretty damn proud – and kinda surprised! – that I have been doing this for a whole year. I did not start out with a goal in mind; there was no specific timeframe, number of issues, or number of subscribers. I simply started. And then I kept going. After a while, it naturally created its own momentum. 

More than anything, it is my accountability partner. This newsletter motivates me to keep creating and thinking and doing so that I can show up and have something to share with you every week. 

I really enjoyed looking back at all of the issues and creating this compilation of themes and favorite features from this past year. I hope you enjoy it too. And thank you, thank you, thank you! for reading.
