A welcome shift.

Hey Reader,

How is it September already? Time man. Time! 🥹

I hope you're experiencing cooler weather and an easeful heart on this Tuesday afternoon. Listen, I want to keep this short and share an update.

I've been contemplating my emails for many months, and asked a while back what folks find useful about them. I'm so grateful to those who shared!

I'm excited to say that I have clarity and a plan for how I'll be communicating for the foreseeable, and I want you to know what to expect.

Starting now, you're going to hear from me four times a month:

First 3 Saturdays

I'll send a story from my personal life about breaking rules, transcending the ordinary and finding magic.

These three stories each month will be interconnected, but the lessons within can standalone. They will be vulnerable, likely relatable and hopefully helpful to you.

Last Monday

I'll send tips and hope for cultivating a Life of Plenty.

Tips on living a plentiful life now. Lessons from the streets — from people I know, observe, work with and coach. My best advice on how to get out of your own way and through the unwelcome shifts and shit that shows up.

Whether you're an executive, emerging leader, seasoned entrepreneur or budding business owner, I'm grateful that you're here. I hope the words I share land and support you in some sweet, simple or big way.

Love you,
Annie

p.s. The past few of weeks I've been:

• Listening to lots of 90's hip hop, specifically from '96 (great for drawing, cooking, chilling), and lots of Alice Coltrane (great for focus and writing, like now!).
• Reading Supercommunicators and Finance For The People, and I finally finished Power vs. Force — good stuff but also dated, very wordy, and from the perspective of a White man in the 90's. He may have been enlightened but still. I went from "YES" to 🙄 often.
• Watching Presumed Innocent on AppleTV (suspenseful, well-acted and written but I hated the end. Worth watching still.).
• Using the Birdsong Oracle, created by my beloved rest and creativity teacher, Dr. Chanti Tacaronte-Perez.
• Drawing (both blind and sighted contour), and conceptualizing my first big Art Practices assignment due next week!
• Contemplating heartbreak and what it means to remember.
• Relishing in the surprising stops on my recent journey.
