Hey!
So it’s been exactly two months since the launch of the new Tarable Designs website! Did you check it out yet? If so, THANK YOU SO MUCH! If not, you can do that at the WEBSITE link below, if you’re interested.
I've gotten some really good feedback, and sooo appreciate those that took the time to visit the site and tell me what they think. I would definitely appreciate more feedback, so if you have anything to say, reply to this email and let me know!
Since the launch of the site, lots has happened. Some good, some bad, but it’s definitely been a lot to deal with. Finishing up a huge project that had been taking up a lot of my time (the website), and dealing with some significant emotions related to all that’s been going on in my life and globally, left me feeling like “what now?"
Not only did I need to figure out what the next steps in my business should be, but like many people right now, with all that is going on in the world, I needed to figure out how I could do something, ANYTHING, to fight back.
That’s were you come in, friend. I would like to officially announce the launch of Tarabytes, Tarable Designs’ new monthly e-zine!
This is obviously just a tiny step, and I still don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but I want this e-zine to be a way for me to try to figure it out. Basically, the idea is to share small “bytes” (haha, get it?) of what I’m passionate about, including but not limited to:
Unicorns
Tacos
Women’s Empowerment
Glitter & Sparkles
Social Justice
Paper
Puns
My feelings
Sharks
Stuff I’m doing/working on right now - mostly to brag
& French Fries
If you’re familiar with traditional ‘zines, you’ll know that they’re usually DIY, self published, mini books about pretty much anything the author is interested in. They’re usually put together in a crafty, cut-n-paste kind of way, which is so my thing! Collaging, scrapbooking and anything where I get to play with paper and sequins is right up my alley, so I wanted to give this monthly email a bit of that feeling. The ‘zine concept fits the bill, plus I love the juxtaposition of digital and physical mediums. I think the name, Tarabytes, plays into that juxtaposition in a fun way as well!
My hope is that by sharing about things that I care about, I can connect with other people who care, and maybe get some new people to start caring too.
Because the whole purpose of these emails is to share what I'm passionate about, I wanted the artwork for this issue to center around passion. I googled to get some quick inspiration before jumping in, and I came upon this quote, which is exactly what I needed to hear:
“People with great passion can make the impossible happen” - Random Internet Quote
This is so reassuring to me! There are so many things once thought “impossible” that we now take for granted. Nothing is impossible. Things that feel impossible CAN be accomplished when passionate people put their talents toward them. This gives me hope for the future and motivates me to put all of my talents toward things that really matter. This e-zine is the first step in contributing my talents toward things that feel impossible. And also towards some stuff that I just really like. Balance.
If any of this sounds like your thing, please sign up at the SUBSCRIBE link below! You’ll get the new issue of Tarabytes on the first of every month, guaranteeing you a monthly message of inspiration relevant to probably only me (it’s not really only me though, right?!), a look at the contents of my head from the month before and adorable French bull dog pictures. You should do it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read the very first issue of Tarabytes! Now I really want to hear from you. I want to hear about the stuff you are passionate about too! So if I said anything here that struck a chord and you feel like having a chat, reply to this email and let me know!
With Love,
Tara A.
