I really should have talked to you about this before now.

For the past, um, FOREVER, I’ve been feeling weird, out-of-my-depth, LOST and gross about my newsletter.*

*Which is why I, basically, do not ever send it out, and you may be thinking, you have a newsletter?

Which is interesting because my newsletter is only exactly what I want it to be (I work for me, I create my thing out here, in the world, the way it works for me, and NO ONE is making me do this**)

**Well, I kind of am making me do this. LBH***.

***LBH = let’s be honest. It’s my second favorite acronym surpassed only by R.O.U.S’s.

I hate sending out my Snoozeletter because I don’t know what the point of it is, and I’m not going to just send crap to your inbox, which is a pretty personal place to show up, without it being worth it.

And I show up to my blog to tell you stuff that will solve your problemos, and to Feast to support and encourage and have fun times with my Feastie crew — so, why even have a newsletter?

It feels superfluous and hokey, because I feel like when I try to write it (EVERY WEEK, this happens!) I put on my Authority Hat, which feels gross, instead of just talking to you, which feels fun and good and is WHY I even do this thing I do.

So, yeah! Why even HAVE this Snoozeletter???

Alright, there’s the obvious solution — just don’t have a newsletter!

But, that doesn’t feel that great to me.

I feel like (at least, for now) showing up to your inbox could be a really good thing.

• It could be another way to support you (and you don’t have to remember to check the blog) and connect with you and help you be YOU out there in the world the way you want to be you.

WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT of what I do.

• It could be a way to let you know what hard stuff that I see in your life (or stuck areas, or challenges — however we want to call them) and what I’m up to to help you over them. Kind of like a big-picture view.

Also — THE WHOLE POINT of what I do.

• Ooooo! I could also include links to recent posts, like as categorization, so that you can see the bigger picture and it’s easy for you to see your issue and all of the stuff we’ve talked about to get you past the issue.

This is feeling better.

• I could take off my Authority Hat, and just talk to you. And it could be just like my blog, but just be called a Newsletter.

Because, I love talking to you! I really miss it when I don’t do it regularly. It brings me great joy.

• AND I could re-name it, and call it not a “Newsletter” (which cheeses me out for some reason) and instead call it… ummm… something better.

Liiiike, Nooseletter? It’s Not A Newsletter? Paperless Post? The Automagical? Vanilla Pricilla? So, maybe this piece is a work in progress.

And, oooo Oooo oooo, MAYBE you can throw out some ideas!

The newsletter is for you, so you can throw out some names that you like… yeah??? Yeah.

Hooray!

That’s what I would LOVE in the comments: what could I call my Newsletter-Reinvention?

Purpose of this “it’s not a newsletter” is

1. to make it easy for me to support you (by showing up to your inbox)
2. to give you an overview of what we’ve been talking about in the blog
3. to show you how we are working together through the tough stuff
4. to just talk to you! like a normal person would (refreshing)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I hope you’re having a magnificent Friday. Let’s chat next week.
