My Newsletter ...
Antwerp
My newsletter is up online or, if I had your email and felt like you might not mind, you might find it in your mailbox as of yesterday. You can catch up on the news and plans, and if you would like to subscribe, just use one of the links over on the newsletter itself. I'm still putting this website together and there will be subscribe buttons, and all kinds of other things, added in the weeks ahead.
I have to confess, that the newsletter would not have been possible without the help of Hanna Kuikka, my marketing partner. If you have any need of a marketing guru, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Hanna. She's there for her clients, 110%, and has brought so much clarity to my work. Her website is coming soon ... I'll let you know as soon as it's up.
Today, meanwhile, is a day of editing. I have 2 big projects and a third smaller project to work through. Miss 7 needs picked up from her new school way across the city and I foolishly just checked out the temperature. It was -10 celsius at 9am. The sky is grey, the ground in the backyard is white ... but more because the snow of a few days ago has frozen and frozen and frozen again. They're talking of more today snow ... we kind of hope so because it pulls the temperature up.
I rarely take off my thermal underwear in these days, and it's all about multiple layers when stepping outside. The only question is whether to wear the leather and sheepskin coat, the one that weighs about as much as an adult polar bear, or the long black boiled-wool coat, with a polarfleece underneath.
And then there's the hat, and scarf, the good gloves, and hiking boots, and woollen socks too. Did I tell you it's cold here? So very cold.
But ... the days are getting longer! We're hanging onto that. The shortest days fell in the mild days of winter. Now it's all down and dirty, weatherwise, but we have more light. It makes things more bearable.
To work.

Let's see, right about now it is probably lunchtime for you - which may mean warm sunshine ... I hope so ;0 Winter here is nothing like yours, but I remember the winters of my college days in Milwaukee. Ohhh man. Loved your newsletter, and I did subscribe. Hugs.
No sunshine but mushroom ravioli with Ms 7 is a little bit like sunshine. She has a half-day today and we're just home from our trek across the city. Thanks so much for loving my newsletter, and for subscribing too xoxo
