Hi, and welcome to another edition of The Eleven, my newsletter that I send out every month on the eleventh! It's where I share my news, thoughts and a call to action. If you're going somewhere - please send me a postcard - I love getting mail and my address is down at the bottom. Also, if you'd like to know more about my business endeavors - you can click on "update profile" and add in additional offerings below!

Amanda Rain

First up - this Friday @ 6pm in Northeast Portlandia, I'll be teaching a free class on event marketing. Joining me will be the incredible, Amanda Rain, whose business is Speaking the Unspeakable. Learn more about the class here. I first met Amanda last year when she moved to town to work on a political campaign - she's an incredible speaker, writer and thinker, and I'm excited to hear what she has to say. 

Life update: it's been a very interesting time for me. Lots of speaking engagements; many new customers/clients - and meetings with tons of interesting people each week. Last week the FB fan page, Keep Portland Weird decided to do a little story on Farm My Yard and the post was shared 3,435 times, at last count! That led to a whole bunch of new people signing up for the Farm My Yard email list; people expressing interest in having their yards farmed all over the world; and media interest. We plan to do an interview with KOIN TV next Sunday featuring Brenda (homeowner), Justin (IntownAg - farmer!) and me! 

Brenda and Justin!

There's lots of change in the air. It feels like a great time to focus on health - I'm trying to up the exercise, increase the veggies/fruits in my diet and making sure I get enough rest. 

I am so grateful to have you in my life - your support, your attention, and the many intangible ways that my friends, family and community sustain and nurture me. Thanks for being a part of that.

I hope your life is thrilling you!  

With gratitude,

Albert Kaufman
