The thing we both keep putting off


Hi Reader,

Can I be honest with you about something?

I have a collection of my own family photos that still isn't fully organized. Me—the photo lady. 🙃

And I have a couple of courses I started building for you that still aren't quite finished. I promised you certain things — bonus modules, extra videos — and life got in the way in a big way. My health (and my time) took a real hit over the past couple of years, and some things just didn't get done the way I planned. ❤️‍🩹

I'm telling you this because I think you know this feeling.

Not necessarily the health part — though maybe that too — but the feeling of having something important sitting on the back burner for so long that you've started to feel a little guilty every time you think about it. 😬

The box of photos in the closet. The bins in the spare room. The thousands of pictures scattered across three devices and a camera roll you haven't opened in months. 🗃️📦📱

It's not that you don't care. You care enormously. That's actually part of why it's so hard. These aren't random files. They're your mother's face. Your kids at ages they'll never be again. Moments that felt ordinary when you took the picture and feel irreplaceable now. 💞

So the project sits. And the guilt sits with it.

I just want you to know this week you're not alone in that. Not even a little bit.

More on that soon. 🚶‍♀️➡️

Warmly,
Fancy

Hi Reader, I'm doing something a little different this month, and I wanted to give you a heads up. In April, I'm switching into full educator mode. Why? Because I keep getting the same questions from people like you about photo organizing tools and services, and I realized I could help a whole lot more people if I just answered them all in one place. So that's what I'm doing. Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing what I've learned in 20+ years of doing this work—the good, the bad, and the...

Hi Reader, If your brain feels a little full lately, you're not alone. Mine does too🤯, and when that happens, the last thing I want is a big project. So this week, instead of tackling your entire photo collection, I want to offer three tiny, gentle ways to enjoy the photos you already have. No organizing, no decluttering—just little sparks of connection✨. 1.

Hi Reader, Last week I told you about the thing we both keep putting off—organizing those photos 🙋🏼♀️. And if you're anything like the people I work with — and like me, honestly — you probably nodded along and then went right back to not dealing with it. 🤷🏼♀️ That's not a character flaw. I want you to understand that. Truly. Here's what I've learned after more than 20 years of helping family photo keepers: the reason this project stays unfinished isn't laziness, and it isn't that you don't...
