How THE F*CK did you know I was thinking of starting a digital magazine publication/newsletter in my town, Ash!?! I only just thought of it on Monday!?! Further proof you are the ESPN of word wizard wildness. I'm now very excited!!!
This SERIOUSLY could not have come at a better time. HOLDING ONTO MY lightning McQueen Crocs (sadly, I'm not kidding.) For the past month, I've been a 48-year old shuffling around my 1948 hardwood floor cottage in size jumbo kiddie shoes and bathrobe feeling like something's missing-- it's this! CAN'T WAIT!
It's just so cool, the kind of change you can make - and the tools at our disposal to take our own careers and paths into our hands while doing something meaningful, YAY!!!!!
I am sooooooo ready for this! Need it! This is next level for my Middle Finger Project! This is two hands, one-finger each, waving it around like I don't care type of stuff!
YESSSSS!!! Me too. I'm so super pumped. I'm really interested in revitalizating small towns, and a local newsletter is an EXCELLENT catalyst. Where are you at, Chris?!
Revitalizing small towns-- yes! I drive down my historic district just to time travel back to the WW2 era and imagine the charming floral hats women crossing the street were wearing. The bakeries, general stores, shoe makers that lined the old brick buildings. It's the perfect setting for my cozy mystery series and I want to revitalize this part of town so that I can exist in it in real time. It is SO THRILLING to know you have similar ideas and I can't wait to find out what's fluttering around in that creative brain of yours, Ash!
I am living in the SF Bay Area! Learning and sharing me gifts to the school business world. I have done a handful of presentations over the past few years sharing work. I have my biggest one yet next month at the big annual conference for my industry. I figured a newsletter would be a perfect way to continue sharing my work, my projects, and inspire others to join me as build a community for other school business geeks like me :)
There's a free local Newsletter called Mittelrheingold.de here in Germany (Name of the river + gold). They’ve been around for over 20 years, won awards, landed the journalist behind it, Dr. Frank Zimmer, countless jobs in the local area. The weekly newsletter is now read by well over 20.000 people every Friday. Even local politicians and decision makes here read it religiously! I would say it helps creating a sense of local identity in an otherwise scattered area where, before, everyone kept to themselves. Now we just *know* what happens on the other side of this gigantic river, or at our distant neighbours' villages 75 kilometres away. We now can participate in their projects, celebrate together when they celebrate and tackle difficult decisions together because we are well-informed about the entire region. We care because we know now.

Because I have been building one of my own and IT'S SO MUCH FUN!!! Baaahahahah!!!!!!!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS THING.
