Hello all,
Happy, happy holidays from me to you! Thank you so much for your thoughtful pitches, careful attention to details, and for making my stories richer. I couldn’t do my job without you — and I’m grateful each day to wake up and do what I love.
Personally, it’s been a big year for me — full of the highest highs and lowest lows:
My dad passed in January after a 17-year health battle.
I married the love of my life in June.
We found out we were expecting our daughter in July*.
*Yep, I had a sober honeymoon :P
We relocated from Boston, MA to Asheville, NC in August.
We bought our first home in December… and now we are unpacking, nesting and finally putting the nursery together.
I’d like to say 2022 will be ‘calmer’ — but we are having a newborn in March, so that’s unlikely :)
Professionally, I wrote 356 articles for 17 publications. My company, Tigar Types, worked with 16 brands and companies to build their content, SEO and newsletter strategy.
It’s been a wild ride — and I’m looking forward (albeit, a little terrified) of tackling my next chapter: becoming a working mama to a little lady I can’t wait to meet.
I hope your 2021 ends with joy and peace, and your 2022 begins with happiness and hope.
I’ll be away from email these dates (but I may be working, so please still meet commentary deadlines):
Monday, December 20 - Monday, December 27
Thursday, December 30 - Tuesday, January 4
Have a wonderful holiday. And thank you, again!
Lindsay
