Got A Big Newsletter For You This Week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning,Did you miss me last week? I thought so. Well, I missed sharing something with you. The last couple of weeks have been a lot to say the least. Between tech stuff I've been dealing with, and just a lot of things going on for our family, I honestly didn't have the time to even sit down and put together a newsletter for last week. With that said, let's get into this week's newsletter.We had an amazing time hanging out with our oldest son who flew back from Texas the Thursday before las

Sorry, but I’ve got no newsletter for you this week. It was a busy week last week with the iOS 27 update, figuring that out on my phone, my iPad, and my MacBook, then hitting the road on Thursday and picking our oldest son up from the airport.

Good morning,I managed last week to get some more progress done on the new book I'm writing. Not as much as I wanted to, but progress is still progress. I'm 5 chapters in at this point and really figuring out my character, her motivations, and enjoying where all the story is going with her. Interestingly enough, I actually took a minute last week and wrote the ending to the book. I know, kind of weird that I'm 5 chapters into the book and now already writing the ending of it. I just knew exactly
