week one

Welcome to Yrsa Daily.

Thank you for letting me try this out!!! Aside from my other weekly letters to you, this is something new I’m trying, short voice notes, little meditations, warm reminders, sparks. They’re personal, raw, sometimes meandering (definitely not polished) lil’ love notes from me to you.

Look, I started as succinctly as I could. By the end of the week, these notes got more rambly. A true wildflower bouquet, weeds and all. Take what you want, leave the rest. These can live quietly in your inbox, waiting for the right moment. If it’s not your thing, you can mute this section, unsubscribe from it, or dip in and out as you like.

I really want to be mindful of your time and attention, which is why these voicenotes are grouped in sevens — one every day for the week — rather than sending you something by email every single day. You’ll find these quite personal. Sometimes they ramble. I try to keep them short(ish). I wanted to make a space for my actual voice, because in a time where there are so many competing voices, sometimes it’s nice to tune into one that’s calm and unhurried.

This is week one. This part of the newsletter is for paid subscribers only, so if you’re here, thank you. I made the very first free just it’s short, and also just because. Everything else is under the paywall. Thank you for being here with me.
