Hello. This is sort of like opposite of a post script - a pre script perhaps? I am not deleting what is below (yet) but it is also no longer relevant content. Since July 1st of 2019 I have changed a lot, and so has the entire world. I took a solo road trip across the US. I spent a bunch of my time in New Mexico going to art galleries and museums everyday and just sort of wandering around journaling and weeping in public, but like in a semi-joyful way and oddly enough it was incredibly healing. Then in February of 2020 my husband was offered a job in Washington state and we literally gave away or sold like 90% of what we owned and drove across the country to see what life has in store if we just keet saying “Yes, and?”. Now it’s the middle of May and it turns out that life had a global pandemic in store for all of us, and I am no longer sending out diary entries. At least not the kind described below. I’ll be sending other types of life updates and a few business ones too - but not the same kind as before. About 4,000 of you signed up for my dairy over the past 10 months or so and I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Your feedback, your support, and your friendship during this time has been like the best things ever - and now this is turning into the email I am sending you as my last one - and not the kind of thing that discourages new people from signing up for content I am no longer producing. Pre scripts are hard to manage, yo. Anyway, bottom line: I would love to have you sign up for my newsletter, but the general content and direct has changed from what I offered below, so if that’s your main motivator, sorry. More soon, xoxox

Hi, Friend. I woke up on a random day in March of 2019 and realized I AM NOT LIVING MY RIGHT LIFE. And now, half of the year has come and gone. Today is July 1st and I am nowhere near where I want to be. Many months of staring into space, re-watching every season of GBBO and RuPaul’s Drag Race, and avoiding my feelings at all costs have produced few positive results. Turns out ACTION is very important if you want to see change of any kind. I needed to make some big decisions. I consulted mystics, tarot readers, spiritual healers, trees in my yard, my cats, my journal, and anyone who would talk to me face-to-face or over Skype about what I should do. The advice I kept receiving was: start writing a diary and share it with people - sort of like the blogs from way back in the olden days - think Geo Cities, Blogger and LiveJournal. I am nervous about this kind writing, so I decided it would feel more comfortable to write in a newsletter format vs a traditional blog. (Yes, I know about Medium, but I do not understand Medium, even though it comes highly recommended. I mostly understand newsletters, so here we are.) If you would like to follow along as I work to change my life in seemingly every way possible, and in some ways that feel impossible, sign up below. Wow, this is hard. I feel really vulnerable and I don’t like it. At all.

Being a “real” person is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

And yet… here I go!
