I’m reigniting my experiment of getting a semi-regular newsletter spun up again. This, in addition, to updating kmartinix.com regularly means I can hone my ability to write and express myself more regularly. So keep an eye here!

I’m hoping to start sending these out biweekly with a short update and then talk about something I’ve seen/read/experienced lately. So lets go!

Kinds of Kindness, however, stretched me in ways I’m not sure I fully comprehend.

Thanks for reading!
