Beginnings End

Greetings friends,

This will be the last edition of my newsletter this year. It will also be the last edition of the weekly format. From now on, I will publish once a month.

2024 has been a meaningful year for me. My wife and I welcomed our second child, Josephine, into the world. I also took my first step toward following my dreams and reaching my potential by starting this newsletter.

Throughout the year I’ve grown very fond of the process of crafting a piece of writing. I’ve always thought of myself as a writer, so it feels good to finally be doing something I feel called to do, that comes natural, and that can have a positive impact on the world.

I’ve found that for me, writing is like a puzzle. I have to figure out how the pieces of an idea fit together, and that requires time. There are advantages to posting weekly, and I’m glad that I did it for a year straight, but it’s difficult to produce quality output with that schedule. The monthly cadence will allow me to dig deeper into topics I’m interested in and give me time to produce better-more refined writing. I hope you will all enjoy it and I’m looking forward to the challenge. It will be a different kind of challenge than the weekly cadence.

Thank you to all of you for reading and supporting me throughout the year. It means the world to me.

I hope you have a wonderful end to the year, and I wish you the best of luck in whatever you want to accomplish next year.

Until next time,

-Sam
