I suppose my brain officially decided Winter is over. ——————— One of...

Hi Reader, I don’t usually send an extra email during the week, but I wanted to share something a little special with you.

Soft lighting, a warm drink, a comfortable chair… and a good book. It felt like the kind of post best enjoyed on a slow Sunday afternoon or evening, so I thought I’d send it your way today.
