V-Day, Take 8.

Happiest of happy Valentine’s Days to you, your friends, your family, your pets, your neighbors, your co-workers, your casual acquaintances, your Uber driver, your Target checkout guy, your mail lady, your significant other, and that dude you saw last week who you thought you knew and you yelled, “Hey Dave!” and it totally wasn’t Dave.

I seriously can’t believe that this is the eighth year I’ve sent valentines to my clients and colleagues to hustle my way above the holiday fray. It seems like just yesterday I was hand-printing 18 cards to hand out to my first freelance contacts, and this year the list has grown to more than 400 people. This annual project is truly a labor of love, but every minute spent it is 100% worth it. I couldn’t do what I do without your support, so I hope you feel every bit of the heartfelt greetings that I send your way.

I’m terribly fawned of each and every one of you, and I hope your Valentine’s Day and 2019 are full of creativity, happiness and plenty of hugs that are juuuuuuuust long enough to not get weird.
