For quite a while now I have been monitoring how the concept of newsletters is drastically changing. This year I received more than a few emails from coaches, entrepreneurs and companies announcing changes to or the stopping of their newsletter. Many companies are encouraging subscribers to stay up to date through their various social media pages. While other businesses are changing to shorter newsletter formats with copy that is concise and targeted. Some, who have a business blog, email the heading of their latest post along with a short feed that takes you to the full article.

We are also adjusting our newsletter format slightly. I know that many of you like to pick and choose what you want to read in TF Magazine so there will continue to be an overview of each month’s new articles. The Jill Crossland Coaching copy is now separated into short business and life segments which allow you to read one or both.

Did you know that the French have a word for the beginning of September; la rentrée, meaning the new start after summer? This is the time of the year when we assess, make plans, set goals and start fresh schedules.

My mom readers are experiencing new milestones with their children as they embark on the next level of school and independence. And we are all dragging out the crockpot, looking for healthy casserole recipes and thinking about winterizing the house.

I will borrow from Oprah’s magazine and write ‘What I know for sure’ is that Fall is my favorite season with its tangy smells, warm earth colours, business in full swing, favorite sweaters coming out of storage and buying those long books for upcoming winter reading.
