Hello and happy July!

It’s a little wild to be in the second week of this seventh month of the year already, and a lot wild to be in this seventh month of the year, period. Time’s flying by - from my perspective, at least.

The energy’s been really interesting, too. I’ve been in what I’m calling a “poise point” for a while now. A recent astrological reading informed me that energy will shift in September. … … Have I ever mentioned that I’m not a patient person? Oh, my. 😆

Let’s get to our main event.

My 9th annual Pay What You Can Day is on as of now! The offers are available through 11:11 am EDT U.S., Friday, 12 July 2024.

As long as you take action by that time - 11:11 am EDT U.S., Friday, 12 July 2024 - your Pay What You Can Day choice(s) will be honored.

The full offer and the submission form is live on my website:
