I hope you are well! I am writing today with some exciting news ... starting next week, all future newsletters will be published on the Substack platform. You might not even notice a difference as a note from me will still arrive in your inbox every Friday afternoon. But I wanted to give you a heads-up as the layout will look a little different. Kinda like changing my hairstyle, you know? New hair, same me!
You do not have to do anything; you will automatically come along with me (unless you unsubscribe - but I hope you don't!).
One of the things I am most excited about is that all my newsletters will live in one easily searchable place instead of an email disappearing into inbox never never land! You will be able to easily read past newsletters!
Substack is a newsletter writing platform that enables me to offer additional products and services to help further my mission to help others leverage the power of habit to live life with clarity, calm and confidence. I have a number of things I'm exploring so stay tuned for more. But don't worry ... this weekly newsletter will continue to be free and I have no plans to change that!
My identity as a writer is something I've always felt but only admitted out loud about four years ago. You see, I've always written but it wasn't until I started writing consistently and launched "a girl named sarah", the original name of my blog in 2020, that I truly started to find my voice.
I came to realize that in sharing pieces of my story, others felt like their story mattered too. I found a connection with others through common experience. It is what has propelled me forward even when I haven't felt like writing.
Shifting to the Substack platform represents the next evolution of Sarah the writer, Sarah the clarity seeker and Sarah the person who sees magic in others ... even when they might not yet see it themselves.
I will continue to write personal reflections on what it means to live a life of clarity, calm and confidence and how habits can be a tool to manage the hiccups in life. I will continue to connect each week as I have done for the past few years. And, I will continue to share tools that can help you live a life of intention. Substack allows me to keep doing what I've been doing and so much more.
I am so grateful for all of you who have been with me on the ride thus far and am excited to see what a year's worth of newsletters looks like this time next year!
If you have any questions please just let me know. Otherwise, IÂ will see you again next Friday and, in the meantime, I wish you a cosy, dry weekend wherever you find yourself.
Walking forward with gratitude,
Sarah
PS - I'd love it if you shared this newsletter with others who you think might benefit.Â
