So, I’m doing this thing…wanna come (Head into the Holidays)

Hi Friend, 

I’m so sorry. I have been seriously MIA. I’ve been getting my balance back - doing things, and planning things and working through some of those firsts that happen after you lose someone. But I’ve been making progress. The end of the year is coming quickly and there are some things I said I would do before then. I want to share some updates and invites. 

We had such a great series of conversations about the book On Our Best Behavior, and we’re not quite done. We still have 4-5 chapters left. Rather than try to fit anything in alongside the holidays, I thought we could aim for a continuation in January. We have several more books lined up as possibilities and now that I’ve learned to use my survey tool, we can poll for our next book. If you’re in, let me know here. This gives all of us (me included) time to finish the book. ;) 

Last newsletter, I mentioned a Quiz Night. It is happening this Saturday (yes, this is tonight, I just put plans into action Wednesday night so please forgive the short notice) at the Hungry Monk in Chandler. It starts at 8pm. A few of us will probably be there around 6:30/7pm or so, stop by for a little bit, stay for the whole thing or only part of it (I’ll have been in Tucson all day so I may even bug out early), but let’s have a little pre-holiday fun.) 

I will be in Denver the week of December 9th for work and have extended my stay through early Saturday, the 14th. I’d love to plan a happy hour and/or dinner Monday or Tuesday evening, and I’m still thinking through my Friday, so stay tuned. A couple of you mentioned you might be interested in getting together, so please let me know and we’ll work out details. I’m thinking it will be in the RiNo District since I’ll be carless (not to be confused with careless), and I’ll be staying in that area. Let me know what you think. 

Lastly, I’m hosting Thanksgiving for my family and I’m opening up my home to everyone for our hot chocolate and dessert bar 4-6pm. If you can stop by, email me your cell number, and I’ll text you directions. Oh, and yes, you’ll need to bring a dessert. :) 

Thanks for hanging in there! I’m sorry I’ve been so sporadic these last few weeks. I’ll be working toward weekly consistency again in the year. I’m excited about what 2025 will bring and I look forward to joining me!

Lots of love,

Christine
