A Sunday Letter Vacation

July 30, 2023 By Talya Tate Boerner

Sunday Letter Vacation

Good morning!

I’m popping in to officially announce I’m taking a Sunday Letter vacation. Yes, I know there’s no need to announce my departure like a flight at La Guardia, after all, I’ve not been very consistent with posting lately anyway. But I don’t want you to think I’ve gone missing either. Or that my blog absence isn’t a conscious decision.

August is here and with it we move into the dog days of summer. I plan to use the month ahead to rethink and regroup, work on a few freelance writing projects, and spend time with family. Maybe I’ll even go fishing.

Downtime is so incredibly underrated.

Later, friends!

    We need t-shirts that represent your blog, Sunday letter, and/or your books! I live in Hickory Ridge, Arkansas and am a huge fan! I grew up in Kennett, MO and moved to Arkansas in ’75 for good. Your posts are dear to my heart!

      Oh thank you so much. What a nice thing to hear! I did sell Gracie Lee t-shirts when my first book came out and I have a few smalls and mediums left. Send me an email if you are interested.

    You will be missed, but everyone deserves a break, from time to time, to just play and enjoy life.

    I look forward to your return, but, until then enjoy your break.
