INTRODUCING: Season Two...From the Desk of ECF
Here's what you can expect from my desk to you in 2024
Bon voyage from gate B-34!
I’m bundled up in a trusted black cashmere knit waiting on a (delayed) flight home to New York this evening. I hope you’re somewhere warm, perhaps trading the snow for sugar-white sand, and feeling refreshed after the holidays.
I spent some time reflecting on the year to come and writing New Year’s resolutions lately. This blog was one of those half-committed resolutions I had repeatedly hoped to create each time New Year’s came around, until that impulsive decision one Saturday morning on the train to Boston when we began our journey.
And voila! Twenty desk notes later, here we are together.
Thank you for reading and supporting me! Every view, share, comment, like, and person who has come up to me in real life to mention it has made me even more inspired to write.
Growing this space is important to me and in these cold, grey January weeks where we commit ourselves anew to our goals and dreams, I’m cranking up the ambition for this blog.
Here’s what you can expect From the Desk of ECF in the new year.
Desk notes will be published twice a month; some will be short-form guides, and others may be longer thought pieces or profile interviews
This journal will center around three compelling themes based on our shared curiosities and experiences:
CONSIDERED TRAVEL
BIG CITY LIVING/LIFESTYLE
URBAN DESIGN/PLANNING
Free subscription access will remain! As I grow as a writer, editor, curator, storyteller, and overall Paris-loving New Yorker, I’ve chosen to keep this space free to meet and engage with as many of you fellow big-city dreamers as possible. Introduce yourself in the comments below and let me know what you look forward to reading in 2024.
I also promise more croissant appreciation content this year. Both real ones (buttery and flaky, dipped in cappuccinos), and teeny, tiny 14k gold ones dangling around my neck. YUM!
While I’ve got you here, may I ask one teeny, tiny favor? A simple share of my blog would go a long way toward expanding our community. Please press the share button below and tell a friend, or two, your sister, your nephew, your college roommate, or your flight attendant about From the Desk of ECF.
Ok - time to board my flight.
Talk soon.
