35 letters I wrote in 2023

Dear you,

What a year!

I planned to write 55 letters to you in 2023, but I was only able to write 35. I was 20 letters short because I went on a sabbatical. I guess I should just adjust based on historical data and keep it to 40 letters a year, after all there are 52 weeks in a year and I trust myself to take at least two months break yearly. My point is I didn't show up perfectly but for the times I did, I am proud. At least I showed up for more than half of the year and that is a win in my books. In 2022 January I was my first subscriber, 24 hours later I had 100 subscribers. One year later 3000 people and today 9000 have opted to receive these letters. I am proud of the growth and I am grateful for you. You reading this this right now.

These are the 35 letters I wrote to you this year. Feel free to bookmark this, so you can come to it any time you need a letter to help you navigate your journey.
