Change

Every time a new year starts, I like to go around the house and make little changes, moving furniture around and make some home improvements. 

The same goes for my business. 

I used to be able to send a newsletter with news and updates to my customers every month, but the truth of the matter is that lately I've been so busy and I wasn't able to keep up with monthly updates. So, what I decided to do, with the suggestion of my friend Kayla at The Eclectic Element, is to send out updates about my blog. 

I intend to keep it as a monthly update to keep my promise to the customers that signed up, but it will be different as instead of creating a new content exclusively about my business, my blog post have a little bit of news, personal updates and actuality facts and everything that strikes my fancy. 

I do expect to see people unsubscribing eventually and I wanted to assure you that I will understand, you can unsubscribe at anytime and I will not take it personally or have my feelings hurt. If you don't know how to unsubscribe but want to do so, just contact me and I will do manually. 

Just baer with me in this phase of change, as I set up the campaign but I have no clue how good this will work. 

 Thanks!

PS: I've done my first boo-boo as the first email sent out was completely blank! I apologize I had some kinks to work out and thanks Kayla for your patience!
