I sat with this for a while… wondering what I truly wanted to say.
One hundred newsletters.
That number feels big to me—not because of the number itself, but because of what it took to get here.
This was never about getting it “right.”
In fact, if there is anything I’ve learned, it’s that what we call mistakes have been my greatest teachers. Always.
When I was young, in junior high, I had a teacher I adored. He adored me too. He knew I disliked grammar, so he didn’t push it. Instead, he encouraged my love for history and storytelling. I ended up receiving the highest grade he had ever given in his entire teaching career. Years later, my cousins told me he still talked about me.
But here’s the part that stayed with me—
I never really learned grammar.
So when I began writing… truly writing—poetry, prayers, songs, and eventually these newsletters—I became aware of all the things I didn’t know. Run-on sentences. Tenses all mixed together. Things like “dangling participles,” which I still couldn’t define if you asked me today.
And yet…
Something inside me kept saying,
“Keep going.”
Not loudly. Not forcefully.
Just a quiet little tickle of joy—
“You’re making progress.”
It wasn’t perfect. Sometimes it was uncomfortable. Sometimes it was slow. But it was real.
And that’s what these 100 newsletters have been.
Real stories.
Real bumps in the road.
Moments of synchronicity.
Times when intuition whispered… and times when I didn’t listen.
I’ve shared my work as a psychic detective, but also my work as a human being—learning, stumbling, growing, and trying to understand both myself and others more deeply.
If there is anything I hope you take from all of this, it’s this:
You don’t need to get it right.
You just need to stay with it.
Write it down.
Trust what you feel.
Learn the difference between fear, imagination and truth.
And allow yourself to grow into your own voice—whatever that looks like.
Thank you for being here with me. Some of you from the very beginning. Some who arrived along the way. All of you part of this journey.
To celebrate this 100th newsletter, I’ll be hosting a live Zoom gathering. I would love for you to join me. (The Zoom link to use is by the 100th Newsletter image above.)
Because this was never just about writing.
It was always and still is about connection.
Namaste,
Nancy
