a little gratitude


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!

Hi Reader, We’re interrupting Deep Writing Season for a writing-related announcement! I’ve got a little publishing news that’s too good to keep to myself any longer—one of my essays has been accepted for publication in the upcoming issue of True Tales from The 90-Day Memoir! No ordinary publication, True Tales showcases the work created inside The 90-Day Memoir, a transformative writing program created by my writing teacher, the story-whisperer Alan Watt. Alan’s work has shaped mine in ways...

A person writing on a piece of paper

Hi Reader, Hope you grabbed that free copywriter guide last week—the response has been amazing! Now, let's talk about something completely different. I've got signed copies of Fuckery ready to go, but here's the twist—you have no idea how many are lurking in my secret stash. $19.99 gets you one, plus free shipping (for a limited time). Want it personalized with a little extra Judi flair? Add $5 and consider it done. But don't wait too long. Once these babies leave my hands, they're gone. And...

Two wildebeests stand in a dusty enclosure with other animals.

Hi Reader, Big news: my latest story has been accepted into Animal Mayhem: When Wild Things Go Wilder, part of Gina Ramsey’s joyfully chaotic Burnt Gloveboxes anthology series. My contribution? Picture Comedy of Errors meets National Geographic—a spectacularly gross misunderstanding involving the animal kingdom, a well-intentioned but totally wrong assumption, and the kind of moment you can’t un-hear (or un-see). When I saw the call for submissions, I knew instantly: this piece had found its...
