A mail that went out in March

Sharing this gem that I sent out to my one snail mail subscriber in March

This concept is as new to me as it is to you. I spent quite some time thinking about what I should write in this very first issue of the Mail Club, and truthfully, I couldn’t quite come to a final conclusion.

So I decided to simply write from the heart.

March is Women’s Month, and while being a woman often comes with its own unique challenges, I am still grateful to have graced the earth as one. So if you’re a woman reading this, Happy Women’s Month to you.

My goal for this year is simple: to create, to play, and to grow.

In all honesty, I don’t really have a woman figure in my life that I grew up looking up to or wanting to become. But over time, I’ve come to admire a handful of women whose work and journeys I’ve followed from afar. Watching what they’ve built, and how they’ve grown, has been deeply inspiring.

These women remind me that with grit, consistency, smart work, and the right systems and support, so much is possible.

Starting Little Scribbs was never part of some grand plan. It began out of fear, but also out of a quiet desire to do more creative work full time. I simply wanted to try.

Truthfully, I didn’t even fully believe in myself when I started. I just decided to play and see what would happen, without putting too much pressure on the outcome.

And somehow, here we are.

Today, I get to spend my days doing things I once only imagined doing. Although, I must admit, there are parts I never anticipated: the marketing, the managing, the operations… what some might call the boring bits. But even in the middle of all of that, I still find ways to create. In whatever way creativity shows up.

And my dear, I hope you do too.

Create as a hobby.
Create professionally.
Create quietly.
Create boldly.

However you choose to do it.
The world needs more creativity, especially from women.

So if you’re a woman reading this, consider this your little nudge: get past the fear and start creating. Look out for women doing the things you dream of doing. Study them a little. Learn what you can.

Then begin.
Don’t over-plan it.

Your story often becomes far more beautiful when you start before you have everything figured out.

With love,
Lily
