Magpie Musings!

Apparently I also gave these newsletters to my Dad, who kept all of them safely tucked away in his filing cabinet. Behold, the first issue of the Umikaze Shinbun (translates to the ocean breeze newspaper).

When I was in elementary school, there was a period in my life where I created handwritten newsletters for my friends in the neighborhood. The newsletter had many sections, like a feature on trending songs or TV shows, a blurb on random facts (interesting but also useless), and even a comic strip. I remember spending hours scribbling the newsletter, making multiple copies of them and decorating each one of them with markers, color pencils and stickers. Once I finished creating them, I took them with me, rang my friend’s doorbells and shoved the newsletter into their hands, even if they had no interest in them (so pushy). Clearly, I thought I had things to say and I really wanted to share them with my friends. I don't know at what point I felt like I had nothing to say anymore, but I stopped doing that.

Last July, I started sending out quarterly newsletters called Magpie Musings. Through these newsletters, my hope is to share with you about what is happening in my life, to invite you to events that I am offering and also to offer you a meditation and/or journal prompt for your personal reflection. I hope the meditation and journaling gives you a moment of respite within your busy day.
