Hi friend,
Here in Seattle, we're well into our damp, drizzly, chilly, earthen season that will last with slight variations into next May. Though I offer outdoor photo sessions here year round, since it rarely gets very cold, indoor sessions are picking up.
It's also the time of year when I both slow down personally and start considering what's worked well (in my life and in my business) this year and where I might want to focus next year.
I put out a survey for my Patreon patrons and got some fantastic feedback on what y'all would like to see next year, from more knowledge rewards like the big fat-positive group guide to events and hangouts.
I'm also doing the kind of big-picture introspection and planning that I hope will lead to a really exciting new offering for you in the new year.
In right-now news, I'm so excited to bring you a guest piece from Marilyn freakin' Wann this week!
Marilyn is one of the fat activists I admire the most, who's been fighting for fat justice and rights since I was knee-high. She's also the author of the book
Fat!So?, and you can learn more about her
here.
Marilyn recently shared a reply she'd written to a request for her expertise that was so strong and beautiful, and graciously allowed me to share it with you as well. The context is below, with a link to read the entire response.
