📧🥩 There's too much @ steak to upset you

Hi gang, Josh here.

I've been working hard in the IT lab this month making things work either a) the way they're supposed to, or b) better.

The worse thing for me is that I did not indeed make things better and some of you are receiving this email twice. I'm sorry. Computers are hard, but apparently sending an email from this new system I've built flagged us as dodgy. Anyhow, on to the original email I wanted to send to everyone.

At the Celebrant Institute - the business Sarah Aird and I started in 2017 - we do a few simple and important things really well. We offer the Certificate IV in Celebrancy, professional development courses for celebrants, articles and essays for celebrants on our blog at celebrant.institute, a podcast, a $10 a month membership that gives you access to members-only content on the website and the ability to ask anything of us any time, about building and running a celebrancy practice plus marriage law questions. You can do that at celebrant.institute/ask, plus Sarah and I separately both offer celebrant mentoring. We're basically really passionate about the celebrant community being in the best shape it can be. Rising tide and all that, you know?

The other thing we do is produce a monthly email newsletter for Australian celebrants. We've been doing this for a few years now, and it's likely that you've already been getting the email, but it's also highly likely it was ending up in your junk mail folder.

That emailing system we've been using for the past few years was junk, so this month I've built us a whole new emailing system that might actually work compared to ol' Mailchimp.

What this means for you is that we've been doing good work, you never knew about it, and this is the first time you're reading an email from me. For the smallest handful of you as well you might have unsubscribed and you don't understand how I disappointed you like this. Sorry.

So here's the action point:

1. If you like the cut of our jib and would be keen on getting out monthly emails, then do nothing and pat yourself on the back for accomplishing another task today.
2. If you are not keen on the cut of our jib, then you probably already know where the unsubscribe buttons are. At the bottom. Click that baby and with any luck, you'll never hear from us again.

If you're wondering what the monthly emails look like, we now also have an email archive at https://mail.celebrant.institute/archive.

Also, if you don't like my emailed steak pun then I apologise for that as well.

Wistfully yours,
Josh Withers
