Your GTTT Starter Guide

If you’re new here, or just a human who might not be glued to their phone (relatable), I wanted to give you an intro into my newsletter: Great Things Take Time (GTTT).

Since its inception on August 11th, 2024 (Nana’s birthday), I’ve worked to share more from my life than you might see in a quick class or static Instagram post. Now, every week I send out an email on Wednesdays at 10:30 AM with insight into my life, a journaling reflection and prompt I’m visiting, and all the little small (or big) things in my life that give me a reason to smile from my life. 

Below are some of the newsletters that are the juiciest and a good place to get started. You can see how my writing and sharing have evolved and how the newsletter has changed over the last year and a half. I’m proud of my progress, and with that come changes and mistakes. There has been a lot of growth since the first newsletter was released, and I’m happy to share it all with you.

So go ahead and poke around! If you ever have a topic you want covered, feel free to submit it via the form below or email [email protected].

But most importantly, NEVER give up, because Great Things Take Time.
