Sunday Letter: 01.30.22

January 30, 2022 By Talya Tate Boerner

Sunday Letter

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

I’ve had a busy-busy week and a very productive one. I can almost taste the launch of my next book, and I’m so excited about it. The book likely won’t be available until this fall, but you know how fast time flies. You will have it in your hands before you can shake a stick at 2022.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself though.

Right now I want to tell you this—if you are interested in my next book, make sure you are subscribed to my email newsletter. I will be gearing up book information soon. And email subscribers will be the first to know everything.

But now here we are, together on another Sunday morning (or whenever you read this). None of my fears came to fruition (so far), and I bet you’re jealous over my wild Saturday night.

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Have you missed me? I’ve missed myself. Ha. I’ve been a little lost for the past two weeks, but now a fresh new battery lives in my MacBook and all is calm in my world again. It’s crazy how discombobulated I felt without my computer. Oh, I managed to be semi-productive, but things felt out of sync. Like everything these days, the Mac store was running behind on work orders because employees were out sick with Covid.

But here we are again.

This is only my second post in 2022! Craziness.Continue Reading
