Happy Wednesday to TWJN 👋🏼 

How’s everyone doing? I want to address a mistake I made. 

In last Sunday’s newsletter I made a typo and accidentally included a racial slur towards Asian people. I’m so sorry. Making everybody feel inclusive is what I’m all about.  

I want TWJN to be an up-beat and friendly place.. that type of language goes againt what this project is for!

So, I just wanted to call that out. 

And I figured I could use this as an opportunity to share the mid-week, Supporter exclusive, round-up with all subscribers 😊

Let’s get right to it! ⬇️ ⬇️
