so much f*ck!ng magic

Read time: 3 minutes

merry monday you,

feeling extra merry this morning because a very magical moment is upon us (more in the musing). first up, please read & internalize the subject of this email.

you’re magic.

in truth, i believe you’re f*ck!ng magic, but i don’t know how fake cursing gets treated by this platform, internet, SEO, etc. so testing it with this sentence rather than the subject line.

you being here right now breathing. IS MAGIC.

this is not another platitude. this is a fact.

knowing this & our work over the past few weeks to be merrymaking beginners of the novel. let’s share this magic with the world because almost everything is better when shared.

mindset

let’s admire the magic & magicians all around us.

admiration is one of the best ways to strengthen your relationships, while adding meaning to your life.

our DNA is programmed to want to connect with others. our days are spent interacting with others. our phones are filled with reminders of others.

yet we forget to act on these connection cues.

with a mindset of admiration, we can find ways to give flowers to people when they can still smell them.

mission

i urge you this week to pamper your people.

this has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day and everything to do with creating a habit of thoughtful action.

you have the power to make someone’s day for approximately $0.00

your tiny action may even trigger a butterfly effect of admiration echoing around the world.

reach out whenever someone crosses your mind. act on the impulse. send the email/text/voice memo. better yet, do as the new york times says and schedule a quick 8 minute phone call because we all have 8 minutes.

and if you have time right now, just do it. there is no guarantee a future time will materialize when you will be able to pamper your people. so don’t waste this opportunity.

• use your phone for connecting not consuming

• use your phone for spoiling not spamming

• use your phone for calling not scrolling

• use your phone for loving not liking

oh & if you’re massively overdue in responding to someone & feel guilty… get over it. just say something. late is better than never. any response is better than no response. we all get busy and know the feeling. at the end of the day we all just want to feel connected.

musing

i started merry makery because i am passionate about helping people connect. my first big step was in january when i launched this weekly newsletter — here we are on issue #4.

i’m taking an even bigger step in february actually right now at this moment with launching my store (!!!)

merry makery store is live & y’all are the first to know 🤩

selling my first 5 magical designs.

plan to add new designs every week & tell y’all here first.

initial supplies of each card are very limited….

tbh i really didn’t know how to forecast this, despite forecasting for a solid chunk of my professional career.

i’m jumping with joy & dying to know what y’all think so please respond to this email with any thoughts. i also know there will likely be typos & bugs because hey this is my first business, first shopify store, & first launch so share those too.

the party is FINALLY getting started.

i’ve got so many exciting things in store for you. seriously though, in store. check it out.

wishing you a magical monday!

P.P.S just so happens merry makery sells the perfect card for you to cultivate a mindset of appreciation & to accomplish the mission of pampering your people :)
