Hello friends, how are you? I’m feeling so happy today because I’ve been working on some creative projects that are lots of fun for me (and challenging), but also because my column in the German edition of FLOW magazine is doing well and lots of German readers are writing to me because they are so happy to read me in their own language now. I’m proud of this too. So if you are a subscriber already, or you pick it up regularly at the newsstand, please grab FLOW magazine and look for my column, “Hollys Welt”, each month. The first one kicked off in the issue shown below, currently on newsstands or you can buy it online right here – it’s issue 33. In my columns, I talk about my position on everything from being an entrepreneur and running a business, mom life, living in Germany as an expat and the crazy world of social media and sharing.
On a different note, I was so touched to read your responses to my recent post, A letter from Holly. Thank you for that. It was really interesting to read your comments – so many of you absolutely feel the same as I do and I really enjoyed all of your feedback and to hear your overall “concerns” about our online community as well. There is so much work to be done, so much good to be had, but we all need to collectively work very hard to evolve our brands and blogs in ways that go beyond the ho-hum generic, and even the boring “accepted” ways… There is so much a creative, innovative and imaginative community can dream up, none of us need to be slaves to algorithms and apps – eff that, right!?
Tomorrow morning, I’m flying to Poland, yippee!!! I can’t wait for many reasons, but naturally, I’m so excited to spend time with my friends and to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Agata and Felice. This is her “hen” weekend in Warsaw, so it’s a really big tradition and a big deal to her and all of us too. I won’t be sharing it online anywhere, it’s private of course, but I will definitely be sharing my favorite views of Warsaw all weekend on my Instagram (@decor8) so please follow me over there starting tomorrow (Friday).
Before the end of the week, Allan Torp will be visiting you with his monthly column sharing his favorites, and next week, I’ll be back on Monday with highlights from Warsaw and all new content for the week that I’ve been saving – also a column from Mel (shop tour!), and home tour from Alison (Scottish city apartment), and much more. Next week will be a 5-day week of content on decor8, so stay tuned.
Love,
Holly
