People may call what happens at midlife “a crisis,” but it’s not. It’s an unraveling—a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you’re “supposed” to live. 
—Brené Brown
 
Hello Lovely,
 
There's something special unfolding in our Tranquility du Jour community. Imagine a cozy corner filled with twinkle lights where we pour a cuppa tea and soften into musings about midlife—a space that's just a click away but feels like a warm, intimate gathering. That's exactly what I'm creating for us on Substack!
 
What is Substack?
Substack is a unique blend of a blog and an email newsletter. The best part? It's directly delivered to your inbox, combining the familiarity of receiving an email with the richness of a blog. 
 
Why Substack?
It's my blog's 20th anniversary (confetti toss!) and I'm celebrating by starting a Substack with you in mind. I miss the good ol' blogging days (remember those?!) and find myself drawn to simplicity coupled with deeper connections in midlfe. 
 
What does this mean for you?
Here's the exciting part—you don't need to do anything to start getting the new Substack newsletter! Midlife Musings will be completely free and will arrive directly in your inbox once a month. And you'll still get these occasional Love Notes with announcements and updates. 
 
If you want more content, monthly tranquility tools, and a chance to connect with a community of like-hearted women who share our midlife dreams, there's an option to become a paid member on Substack. 
 
A special note for Salon and Coterie members
Your journey just got more enriching! You'll get complimentary access to both the free and paid content on Substack. There's no need for any action on your part—you'll continue to enjoy all the material you love, plus the added perks of being a paid Substack member. Keep an eye out for a separate email with more details tailored just for you!
 
So much gratitude
I'm thrilled to create this new, tranquil space where we can share and grow together. Midlife Musings on Substack is more than just a newsletter—it's a chance to feel seen and to navigate this beautiful stage of life side by side. Thanks for sharing your inbox, being part of my blogaversary, and joining us on this midlife journey!
 
PS Keep an eye out for your Midlife Musings welcome email early next week and the first edition of the Midlife Musings newsletter coming in March. 
Love, Kimberly
