🥳 Welcome to Issue No. 100!!!
The only kind of triple digits I’ll willingly celebrate!
I have to admit, the experience of writing one issue a week for 100 weeks has been a bit of a blur. When I sat down at my desk on September 12, 2024, to finalize the first one, I hadn’t considered anything past facing my fear and sending it. Since then, I’ve just ‘put my head down and swam,” story after story, issue after issue, week after week, month after month.
Until this past week, I hadn’t stopped to come up for air. The little break has afforded me a bit of time to reflect on all of the wonderful people (hundreds!) I’ve met and opportunities I’ve been granted because I took a chance and bet on myself (even though I didn’t really believe I could do this).
If you read until the very end, I’ll share the backstory on how The Buzz came to be, along with two interviews I’ve done since.
All I ever wanted to be in life was myself. Thank you for allowing me to do just that! Cheers to the next 100!
Now let’s dive in, 🐝-cause…
The more you know, the more you go!

P.S. Thank you to Kris Byrd for your contribution to the tip jar last week.
P.P.S. I’m minutes away from having to send this but I just had to give it chop, chop, chop, to be sure it landed in your inbox (there are send limits). There’s so much to share every week, that’s becoming a common occurrence.
