What is this? A blog? An email? Or is it a puff piece? Nope. It’s a NEWSLETTER. Ok, so WHAT IS a newsletter? I’ll bet you think you know the answer. No cheating now! Try to answer what it is before you look it up, or before I tell you.
According to the English Language Dictionary, a newsletter is, and I quote: “a small publication(such as a leaflet or newspaper) containing news of interest chiefly to a special group.”
WOW!
Did you know that by reading my newsletter here on Substack, that simple act makes you special? That means you are important, wanted, needed, interesting, and lovely! Oh YEAH!
Don’t believe me? Let’s check out what the Dictionary says the definition of ‘Special’ is, and I quote: “designed for a particular purpose or occasion; held in particular esteem; being other than usual.” SEE? I told you.
I knew it, I just KNEW you were a special person. One who is wonderful to have as a reader, a wonderful person in your own right. That settles it, it’s official. The ‘Merriam-Webster Dictionary’ said so. YOU, my dear reader, are special. And that is a VERY GOOD THING! (refer back to the definition of the word ‘special’ above if there’s any confusion.)
So when you’re feeling down, sad, or frustrated with things in general, think back on this newsletter. And remember, that at least one person in your life thinks you are absolutely wonderful AND special! ME.
And that, is a very good thing indeed.
