Well friends, here we are! Happy August!
This week last year, my brother set up a Substack for me. I had been calling him endlessly about how I wanted to write something but didn’t know what. I wasn’t a writer and needed to take classes first, and who am I, and is this dumb? And, and, and...
He’d had enough. We made a deal I’d post every Sunday for a year before I complained to him again about it. And while that obviously didn’t happen (I griped the whole way through) I did manage to post weekly. Thanks Nicholas.
And thank you! So much for following! Whether you’re new or have been here from the beginning, it’s been an honor to have people to send this to. Some posts were very fun to write, others were rough, and most were grammatically incorrect, sent at 4 a.m., and followed little to no cohesive storyline. But I hope you found a cute pair of jellies, gave a dessert recipe a go, or at the very least, added to your skincare routine.
With that, a little writing opportunity came up that needs my attention. So, I’m also popping in to say that I'll be pausing my posts for August. I know. What will you do!?
But I’ll be back at it in September! We’ll hit the ground running with chore coats, Korean slug masks, and, I’m sure, rubber-soled gardening shoes.
So, thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate it.
See you in September!



I’ll miss your reads for the month of August but looking forward to reading again in September. Great year of posts. Congratulations. Love you always.
