Dear SouleMama Readers,
In place of {this moment} today, I want to take a moment to say thank you. I am incredibly grateful that creating in this space - this blog - has, over the years, become a part of the work that nurtures and feeds my soul and also supports my family. It is a pleasure and a joy to spend my time working on SouleMama, and I thank you for spending your precious time here as you do - whether it's been for almost nine years (gulp) or you've just found your way here. Thank you!
I also want to say thank you today to the people and businesses who support this space. Their goods, wares and creative tools and inspiration fill my home and outgoing gift bundles. I am proud of each of them and the ethical, creative and thoughtful work they do. I am honored to be working with the people behind each business - and inspired by the ways in which they work.
Today, I want to highlight all of our current sponsors. Many of them have graciously offered special discounts for the coming weeks that you can read more about below. I encourage you to check out their businesses as the coming holiday gift giving and craft-making season begins.
Thank you, friends!
Amanda
