L.I.T. News - Communication Download - Issue 74


Reader,

Welcome to the first issue of L.I.T. News for 2026. I'm so honored that you're here. Because we're all about the L.I.T. (life improvement training) around here, you're going to get useful content within these newsletter pages - content that is sure to make you think and designed to make you act. For, what good is it to have knowledge or information and not use that knowledge or information to improve your quality of living? Hmmm?

So, let's get a glimpse of the information in store for you in Issue 74:

  • a brief article about "written communication to ourselves" -- our focus for this month's newsletter
  • a "Writing Therapy" exercise
  • a healthy habit, involving writing
  • football-themed reading and writing resources from the Degrees of Maternity Tpt Store
  • a summary of Chapter 12 of Atomic Habits
  • a blog post from the Degrees of Maternity blog

Check it out below:

​And, here's last month's issue in case you missed it:

We finally started our deep dive into COMMUNICATION last newsletter, and we're continuing this time with the specific theme of "written communication to ourselves." There are definitely some motivational takeaways you'll be able to garner from this light reading. Give issue 74 a try and see what I mean.

May your weeks be filled with blessings and productive communication. Until next time . . .

Hi there! I'm Jana (Yahna) Williams.

Welcome to a cozy place to hang out, where life education never ceases. Every 4th Sunday of the month, we’ll explore the areas of personal and professional development with an underlying theme of reading and writing for growth and healing. (I'm a HUGE literacy advocate! And, literacy is intertwined in just about everything I do here online. Take, for instance, the L.I.T. News Newsletter that I hope you'll choose to peruse. The "L.I.T" in the newsletter name is representative of Life-Improvement Training -- which we do a lot of around these parts -- as well as my love of all things literacy.) Just know that, as a content creator, I have a passion for educating others through positive, encouraging, and life-impacting content. Words are powerful once delivered. So, let’s enjoy their empowerment for the good, as we travel this life-improvement journey together.

Hi there Reader, Welcome! Welcome . . . to those of you returning as well as to those of you who are new to the L.I.T. News Family. I'm so happy that you found yourself here at today's email. To do a little something different than I normally do, I decided to forgo the brand-new (hot-off-the-press) monthly newsletter attachment and provide you with a video and a form attachment instead. But, wait a minute! I DO have an oldie (but goodie) newsletter for you in case you haven't had a chance to...
