• In a world of social media posts and other platforms, I constantly find myself looking for the “like” button at the end of your letters.

  Your material always contains something tangibly helpful and in the spirit of thankfulness, I wish I could show my appreciation for your words with a simple click of a button.

  But alas, this little message conveying my thanks will have to do. Thank you for these reminders, ah-ha moments, and nuggets of gold that you share with me regularly.
