a little gratitude

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader, and welcome to February,

This week, I’ve spent a lot of time gathering all my tax stuff for my accountant. Spoiler alert: I haven’t enjoyed it.

Anyway…

I’d like to spend the rest of this week focusing more on gratitude. I started my business six years ago, and so many amazing things have happened that I don’t spend enough time being grateful for.

Amazing things like…

Writing websites that led to business owners feeling so good about their business that THEY GOT MORE BUSINESS!

Writing a book that people are still raving about 2+ years later.

Coaching writers (some business owners, many not) publish their work in various forms, including books, blogs, and newsletters.

Meeting Rebecca Gold, who helped me develop as a writing coach by co-teaching in her Write Here Write Now program.

And, of course, you Reader. Having you on this email list. Hearing back from other subscribers and having a direct line to readers, students/customers, and other lovers of the written word…

Wow, I love it so much. Consider this a personal thank you from me to you. I’m so grateful to have you in my world.

I really love writing for and with people, and I love having you here with me while I do it.

That’s all for today. Talk to you next week.

Best,

P.S. What are you grateful for this week? It could be business-related or not. I’d just love to hear from you. Hit reply and let me know. I’m a unicorn…I answer all my emails personally!

What if you can make it anywhere... including right here in Boston? Trinette Faint had the same thought, and she created this event to prove it. I'm honored to be moderating. We're kicking off with a screening of Trinette's...

I hit refresh in a major way.

Hi Reader, Welcome to the 2025 installment of “What I did on my summer vacation.” In addition to eating all the lobsters and oysters, soaking up beach days, and taking day trips to all my favorite Massachusetts haunts (plus a few new discoveries), I also managed to pull off a full-blown website redesign. Spoiler alert: I went full Extra. Yep. The Judi 411 universe got bigger. I’ve expanded my offerings beyond copywriting into four focused service areas: ➡️ Website Writing ➡️ Custom Projects...
