Dear friends, I hope you have all had wonderfully restful Decembers. You can read about mine here… https://emmacharleston.blogspot.com/2025/12/december-2025.html [December2025.jpeg] I also wrote a bit of a reflective blog, reviewing some of my goals for 2025, and pondering on new ones for 2026. You can read that here, if that sounds even vaguely interesting… (and tell me your goals/plans/ideas for the new year!!) https://emmacharleston.blogspot.com/2026/01/2025-bingo.html [January1.jpeg] A goal I did not list there is to DO LESS, and with this in mind, I am winding up a couple of long term projects… Firstly, my ‘photo a day’ instagram is no longer going to be photo a day (more here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DS-cZRADfG7/) Secondly, my radio show is no longer going to be monthly, instead I’ll just make an episode when I feel like it. You can listen to the last regular one here! https://www.mixcloud.com/emma-charleston/audient-january-2026/ Hopefully this will somewhat reduce my daily/monthly self-imposed task burden. I have also thought about winding up this newsletter, but I guess I feel like it’s important to maintain channels of communication that are not via the big socials, and enough of you say you appreciate it that… I will persist, for now?! (Thanks as always for your eyes anyway, it means a lot to holler out into the void like this) Hope you’re all heading into 2026 mindfully or intentionally or whatever, or maybe with a cracking hangover from last night, idk. Whatever your year start, I hope it’s a glorious one for all of you. [signature.jpg]
