Dear friends and long-time readers,

First and foremost, thank you. Some of you have been following this blog for years, reading my thoughts, commenting on my adventures, and creating a community I never imagined possible all those years ago. Your presence and support have meant more to me than I could adequately express in a single post.

A New Home for Our Conversations

After much consideration, I'm excited to announce that I'm launching a Substack newsletter called "The TMI"!

Why "The TMI," you ask? Because if there's one thing you've come to expect from me, it's probably too much information—whether about my latest skincare obsession, that travel mishap, or my ongoing quest to balance contentment with growth. This name felt like the perfect encapsulation of what I hope to continue sharing with you.

What You Can Expect

"The TMI" will feature the same honest, sometimes overly-detailed perspectives you've come to expect here, but with a more focused approach on:

  • Personal style discoveries and recommendations
  • Travel experiences (the good, the awkward, and the transformative)
  • Sustainability efforts and my ongoing plastic-reduction journey
  • Life optimization hacks that actually work (and some that hilariously don't)
  • Reflections on finding balance in a world that often pushes us to extremes

Some content will be freely available to everyone, while other pieces will be exclusively for subscribers. This model will allow me to dedicate more time and energy to creating the thoughtful content you deserve.

Why Substack?

This blog has been my digital home for years, and I'm immensely grateful for the space it provided us. However, Substack offers features that will help me build an even stronger community—from easier discussion threads to audio options and more streamlined delivery directly to your inbox.

You're Invited!

I would be honored if you'd join me on this next chapter. You can subscribe here.

Your years of support on this blog have meant everything to me. You've been here through life changes, identity evolutions, and countless "I just discovered this amazing thing and had to tell you immediately" moments. I hope to continue that connection in our new home.

What Happens to This Blog?

This blog will remain online as an archive, but new content will be posted exclusively on "The TMI." Consider it a digital scrapbook of where I've been, while I move forward to something new.

With immense gratitude and excitement for what's ahead,

SL
