Happy New Year everyone.
After such a difficult 2025, I'm reflecting on those highs and lows with sadness, but also extreme gratitude for the blessings that came my way this year. The biggest thing I learned this year was about the power of community. Community and friendship was what got me through this year. Therefore, I am deeming 2026 to be the year that genuine, authentic community becomes cool again. I'm bringing that ethos to my buisness in 2026 and want to focus on crafting book-related and adjacent events that inspire, bring people together, and bring our collective resources together to weather through whatever this world puts us through. Stay tuned for more. Wishing you and yours the happiest and healthiest 2026!
