Workshop Moved to Thursday. Blame the Jester Hat.
Workshop schedule, new writer feature, and proof that at Ican still wear a jester hat on a parade float without asking permission.
Hi folks,
Quick newsletter-style note today with a few updates so you’re not guessing and I’m not posting things in five different places like some kind of digital scavenger hunt.
1) New weekly feature: Rewired Voices
I’m starting a special section called Rewired Voices.
If you’re a writer and you’d love an opportunity to have your work shared with my community of about 5,500 subscribers (who are delightful, by the way), this is for you.
My plan is to publish one new piece per week, and I’m aiming to have it up and running within the next seven days.
If you’d like to be considered, hit MESSAGE MONICA
and tell me:
What you want to share
Why it matters to you
And include the piece or a link to it
Keep it real. Keep it clean. Let it sound like you.
No corporate-speak. No inspirational quote salad. Just... you.
2) This week only: Tuesday workshop moved to Thursday
A little scheduling shuffle.
This week’s Tuesday night workshop is being moved to Thursday night.
Why? I made a commitment to be at a Mardi Gras dinner on Fat Tuesday—a family tradition for me. I’m 100% Cajun, and I said yes to this early last fall.
I’m also making the king cakes for the party, which means I’ll be elbow-deep in dough and trying not to set off the smoke alarm.
So Tuesday is a no-go for me, but I’m not cancelling. I’m just moving us to Thursday for this week.
Then next week, we go right back to our regular rhythm. Nobody panic.
3) Reminder about the weekly paid-subscriber gathering
For those of you who are paid annual subscribers, you can jump in at any point.
There’s no “you missed the beginning, so you’re behind.”
This is a steady, weekly meeting, and right now we’re focused on Breakthrough. We’ll likely stay with that guidebook for another few weeks.
Think of it like a book club, except we’re not pretending we read the whole thing. We actually work through it together.
4) If you missed it: coherence and decluttering
If you haven’t had a chance yet, take a look at:
The post on coherence : IT FOUND ME I DID NOT HUNT FOR IT
And the recent decluttering series if you want a good, practical re-entry point Spring Cleaning the Soul, Part One:
They’re the kind of posts you don’t have to binge. You can dip in and let one line do its work.
No homework. No pressure. Just there when you need them.
5) Heads up: I’m taking Monday and Tuesday off
I’m going to be offline Monday and Tuesday as I prep for a big Mardi Gras thing coming up.
(Yes, that’s the king cake thing. Yes, I’m slightly stressed about it. No, I will not be live-tweeting the frosting process.)
I’ll be back Wednesday, and we’ll pick up right where we left off.
Thanks for being here. Truly.
This whole community works because you’re thoughtful people, and I don’t take that for granted.
More soon,
Monica
Enjoy 🎉👑
Sounds like fun, enjoy, and Happy Mardi Gras!
