Never in my wildest DREAMS did I think

Never in my wildest DREAMS did I think
that I'd be posting this 📦
(Any guesses?)

Having been a rock show gal since I was a tween --
You know: Coheed, RHCP, Dave, Cake, Steely...
I always lingered by the merch table. Wistfully
scanning the band shirts and buttons but
never actually spending any $money$
on them. Those $60 sweatshirts
were always a biiiiiiiit out of
my reach (especially
between layoffs).

(though why on earth I let that merch table go cold at a Neil Young concert ... still kicking myself)

but I digress...

My first 'merch' EVER was a Paul McCartney shirt from his tour about 8 years ago through Sacramento.

Also, I learned his nickname is "Macca"

And it felt like a total splurge
(I don't even put that shirt
in the dryer. iykyk.)

😎

But never in my WILDEST dreams did I ever
believe that I would have MERCH of my own.

And today

well

I do.

It's real.

🪩 🕺

So first, I just want to thank everyone who weighed in on what the perfect logo/color/style of this merch would be -- from the Traction Resume Team to my Resume Writer buddies to the MedTech Militia crew to my mom.

I took in ALL your feedback and have, imho, the perfect FIRST merch.

And by perfect, I mean there's no such thing -- but merch that exists feels like a perfectly good win this January.

And today, TWO of my wonderful clients are getting SURPRISE FIRST DIBS!

⭐️ One for his kind referral and going the extra mile in his networking.

⚡️ And one for winning her dream job after investing and believing in herself.

LinkedIn fam:
I'm so dang proud.
Happy-tears-at-USPS proud.

So celebrate with me, eh?
And tell me: What's the best merch you've ever splurged on?

(and what do YOU think is in this shiny new merch mailer? For the first correct guess, I may just send you some so you can revel in this fun mini milestone with us, too.)
