Striving for Croissants

Chocolate ones, preferably

Do you ever see a newsletter in your inbox and sigh inwardly, thinking, “Great, another thing to read, more self-improvement to do, and someone else to feel inferior to. Just what I needed today.” Yeah, we’re two weeks into January and I’m already a little jaded.

If you’re feeling that way too, I give you permission to delete this newsletter. It’s okay. Really. We’ll catch up next time.

On the other hand, if you’re feeling up for some connection, I’ve got you there, too. I sat down last week and made my first vision board in two years. It had croissants on it. That’s the level of go-get-it-ness I’m feeling right now. I’m really striving towards more pastries in my life.

Okay…I have done one kind of big thing this year. I created a gift for paid subscribers—something you’ll actually receive from me in the mail! They’re not physically in my hands yet, so I’ll leave it at that for now, but I’m very excited. If you happen to be a paid subscriber, look for an email requesting your physical address soon so I can send you your goodies. And if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your subscription, it’s not too late.

And now, keep reading for a rundown of some recent and upcoming content.

Watch now:

Coming to YouTube on Tuesday:

My next YouTube video will be about my exploration of self-compassion. I’ve been studying and practicing self-compassion for a few months now and it’s really only the beginning, but I’m excited to share what I’m learning. If you have a YouTube account, you can subscribe there and click the notification bell to get an alert as soon as the video comes out. Otherwise, I’ll be sure to link it in your next newsletter.

Substack Exclusive Video on Friday:

I haven’t been getting as much time as I’d like out in nature recently, so I’m hoping to film Friday’s subscriber vlog somewhere a bit more picturesque and soothing than my kitchen table.

Until next time, I’m wishing you love and joy and all those good things,

Jenn
