Aimee! you've done such a great job in the substack this year. It's fun to look back down the trail that you've retraced in this post! I am a huge fan of your work, I guess you know. :-)

May this coming year be filled with Good and Beautiful Things to light the way.

(and you can be sure - whenever you come up short, I'm always here with a chicken pic for you!!)

Keep on my friend!!

I love your artwork and your words, and I’ve loved finding a fellow writer in a similar life stage. May 2024 be a year of even deeper discovery of your true self!

This year I created my first ever oil painting, many art journal pages I love, and several pieces of writing I’m proud of.

Wow! Love all the things you have made. I can't believe all the art. So cool. I produced 5 episodes of a podcast, published 12 essays and 26 poems across The Snuggle and Part-Time Poets. I am amazed at the output when you commit to showing up regularly. Looks like you are seeing similar (more extensive) fruit!

I find this all so inspiring! Thanks for having the courage to share your art with strangers on the internet.

I love that you are making time to celebrate your creations this year. May 2024 be fertile soil for the seeds deep inside you, friend.

I love the 'zine -- what a neat idea! This year, I "made" 12 posts via my Substack newsletter and another 10 (or so) newsletters for parents/grandparents to help their kids choose great books. I also "made" about a thousand (or more) edits to other writers' books. I consider it a HUGE privilege that so many authors have allowed me to view their words and help them become even better writers than they already are. It's such an honor to work with other creatives; I always learn something new.

Love this!! Your drawings are awesome. I especially love the ones in nature! I made with my friend Erin a book: The Beauty of Motherhood: Grace-Filled Devotions for the Early years. It was a years long process but this year we saw the fruit of it in the world!
