I’m back.

after a break that lasted longer than I wanted...

This is from the Scottish Highlands. I got the coo to pose!

. . .

Some of you have been here since the beginning of my journey jotting. Some of you probably forgot you even subscribed. Either way — hello again!

I took a longer break than I planned.

Life, work, and, honestly, a little bit of creative exhaustion got in the way. But I kept taking photos and collecting the kind of stories and curious facts that I’m ready to share.

. . .

I’ve been rethinking what I want this newsletter to be and I’ve decided on a format that would be genuinely sustainable for me and, I hope, genuinely enjoyable for you to read. Instead of regular deep (and longer) dives, I’ve decided on something a little lighter and a lot more consistent.

Most weeks, you’ll get a short post, with my own photos, a few cultural curiosities about wherever it was taken and a mini quiz to end on. Once a month, I’ll go longer: a walking route, a neighborhood, a place worth spending a morning in… something like that. That kind of post I always enjoyed writing most, and apparently, the kind you enjoyed reading most too.

I’m starting simple. No grand promises. Just showing up, which is the thing I should have kept doing all along.

If you’re still here, thank you! From the bottom of my heart. See you next week.
