To my email subscribers, I recently learned that an issue with my MailChimp account prevented posts from being sent to subscribers for almost the past year. The issue has been resolved, but I thought I should put together a post summarizing what I’ve shared during that time. For those of you who only get posts updates from me via email and don’t follow me on social media, you probably have not seen these posts.
