A Christmas Message🎄

See you in January

Hello, hello!

Me again. This makes it two posts in two weeks. Don’t worry, this won’t become the new normal because moving to a lighter posting schedule was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, from a creative standpoint.

This bonus post is just to say a huge thank you for spending some of your time reading The Best of Intentions! I really mean this, especially when I see more and more big names joining this platform (Charli XCX, Kamala Harris, the New Yorker, and the British PM Keir Starmer have all popped up as ‘Suggestions’ in recent weeks). Part of me wonders what it all means for those of us with no existing audience/readership. But then I realise that there’s no point in spending too much time thinking about it. Not only is it a waste of time, but it detracts you from what you are doing. And there are already enough distractions out there in the world.

Another reason for this post is to let you know that I’ll be taking a break over the Christmas period from this newsletter. I am travelling to the US to see my husband’s family, which means that I’ve planning on taking a few packs of mince pies to add a British touch. (I might be the only one eating them.)

Finally, my last post of 2024 was a round-up of some my favourite reads, music, and podcasts. I had intended to do this type of post again, but with work being rather busy over the past few weeks, I’ve decided to postpone this until January. However, below is a link to last year’s awards:

And if you celebrate the holiday: Merry Christmas!
