January 2024 Newsletter 💫
/Happy New Year, Reader Friends!
I hope you’ve had an enjoyable and healthy start to 2024.
On New Year’s Eve, I was lucky enough to celebrate in style on Sydney Harbour at a dear friend’s office in the historic Rocks area. The staff kitchen alone had a prime view of the iconic bridge and traditional fireworks display! But the best vantage point was up in the building’s clock tower. We had to climb several staircases and then a tall, steep, narrow ladder to reach the tower’s wraparound balcony. (Don’t worry — I stuck to non-alcoholic beverages before this ambitious ascent!) It was pure magic under the Milky Way. :) If you’re interested in seeing vids of the fireworks, head to my Instagram profile.

This year I’m pledging to listen to more audiobooks while walking from A to B. I’m obsessed with ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Admittedly, I’ve gone about it backwards, having read the TV series and streamed the soundtrack before starting on the novel. Now I’m super curious to hear how the full-cast audiobook sounds. Are you into audiobooks? I’d love to know!
Until next time, happy reading/listening!
