thanks for doing this with me
catching up and checking in
First of all, I wanted to say thank you ❤️ for being part of the Life is a Sacred Text community. I know that you unsubscribed a bit ago; listen, I get it. We all get way more email than any human can handle, and sometimes even things we enjoy can just be too much.
From here - there are a few paths that you might still take…
1) Get the Life is a Sacred Text Digest
We've just put together a new tier– specifically for folks who want to stay in the loop but hate inbox clutter– to get one email every couple of months with a digest of the best of recent posts, and a bit of information about what else might be lurking at the website for your possible perusal.
Since this is a new feature that requires some extra labor on our end, we do need to factor that in, but will nonetheless make it available for only $1/month. $12/year. That's less that two grande Pumpkin Spice Lattes (support your independent cafes today and every day). For a whole new feature, just for you:
2) Stay on as a “non-email subscriber”
and read the goods online at your leisure! Just like you may have subscriptions to other websites and apps that let you read when you want to, you can resubscribe and maintain access to all our Monday posts, but just skip the weekly email.
If you want to do this: Once you’re resubscribed, click on the “Account” button in the upper right corner of the LifeIsASacredText website, and your basic info will come up, including a field that enables you to manage your email preferences:
If you click on “Manage,” you’ll get a field like this that enables you to toggle on and off access to LiST emails (and comments) at any point, like so:
Then you can see everything online, easy-peasy– including the “Members only” emails that aren’t open to the general public, as some of our content will be, especially moving forward.
(If you already know about and are availing yourself of this option– huzzah!)
3) Resubscribe by the end of 2024 and get a prize
Maybe you unsubscribed by accident! Maybe you wanted less email! Maybe you like prizes! We’re doing something special: those who have unsubscribed in the past year and decide to subscribe to the digest and/or resubscribe by erev Hanukah (that is: December 24, 2024) will be entered into a raffle. Ten lucky winners will receive a signed copy of On Repentance and Repair … and three winners will also be offered 3 months free of the House of Study subscription level.
4) Departure with feedback
Maybe you've just decided this isn't for you. That's OK, too. Not everything is for everybody. Truly. I’d be grateful, though, if you’d be game to offer some feedback. As I’m sure you might imagine, I take feedback very seriously and am always looking to learn and grow, as well as to better understand if I have what to mend. Click here to tell me more.
Anyone who fills out this form between now and Hanukah will be entered in a raffle to receive a nice yummy package of fair trade organic chocolate - so click here to tell me more.
Sending many blessings your way.
Warmly,
RDR
