Welcome to my casual, independently run publication (ok, it's a newsletter) that I like to call my moon mail. Moon mail started a few years ago when I wanted a creative writing outlet with less pressure and I did that for some time but now I'm committing more time to this space and writing more frequently.
What can you expect?
Moon mail: primarily softer, more vulnerable pieces of writing. Moon mail used to be sent around the full moon, but may be sent on or around the four phases of the moon (New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter). They are more about life lessons, moments and musings.
The second is: Sun Drop. This is writing catered to business owners, filmmakers and creatives who are also parenting, and will be about things I've learned like:
1) Business/Entrepreneurship
2) Filmmaking
3) Motherhood as someone doing the above.
Sometimes I will send directly to your inbox, and other times I will just publish to the blog, but all of the writing will be with the intention of sharing knowledge, updating you on my creative projects and hopefully inspire you to honor your own creative spirit.
