Shannon this may be one of my favorite pieces of yours, not just for its raw honestly but also for how wonderfully you wove your thoughts throughout! I may only know you on social media, but I could completely hear this in your voice, which I think is a testament to the title of “Writer.” You are very much our Carrie Bradshaw of weddings, parties, and hosting, and you’ll be a wonderful mom while you’re at it! Sending you so much good energy from NorCal :) Thank you for this!

You are a great writer sharing your true feelings and I think many people appreciate the honesty.

I really enjoyed how you wrapped up this newsletter about the conversation with your 95 year old neighbor, it summed it all up.

Happy birthday!! Found you on the clock app during the height of my own wedding planning and am so glad I stayed / followed you here. You have a talent with words and I truly look forward to your newsletters of all topics every week. I must also note that you have approached sharing the different stages of your own life very authentically and that really translates in your writing. XO
