So, somewhere on the Internet, something I wrote went viral and while I never did encounter the post itself, I did have a fun influx of followers here, many of whom reported seeing something on Facebook. So, if that was you, HELLO! Thanks for hopping aboard!
How about a couple of pictures as a get-to-know you! Here’s a picture of me playing in an orchestra. I’m the very angry-looking gentleman in the front. (I play viola now, after nearly a lifetime of playing the violin. (Here is a Substack I wrote about the switch.))
And then here is a puppy puppying like a good little pup:

So glad you’re here!
As for everyone else (and you too, new friends) today’s post is just lil' ol' me here dropping off this lil' ol’ PSA to your digital doorstep
REMINDER
The super fancy for-longtime-followers (as well as new friends, of course) "pre-sale" pre-sale of my —>Couple's Tune Up Course← is ending in three days--on Thursday night.
Wasn’t it supposed to end last night?
YES! But SOMEBODY forgot to remind everybody in time, so they (aka me--I'm the problem; it's me) extended the end of the discount out several days cuz sometimes a decision to invest in something like this is worth a bit more time.
And can I just say? I'm so freaking proud of this thing, and so excited to share it with you.
And I'm absolutely pumped about all the people that have already signed up!
I think it's going to be an incredibly powerful experience for any and all who feel called to join in.
If that's you, just remember that until Thursday, you can get the course (which in a couple of weeks will cost most folks out there $333) FOR $94.99!!!!! (CLICK HERE TO SNAG THIS OFFER)
PLUS, there's an option at check out to do a payment plan with Klarna, so even that low price--a fraction of the price of most couple's therapy sessions--becomes more manageable.
If this is something you're considering, I just want you to know that it is my sincere belief that by the end of this course, you and your partner will know each other more deeply, and will feel more connected, than you have in a long time (and possibly even ever).
But what's more, you'll have the tools necessary to slow down ANY argument and get to the bottom of things... to the fears and hopes that feel stomped on and the ways the situation you are in might be triggering fear, loss and pain in each other.
And you'll have a manageable way to find your path through to the other side--back to where you feel safely connected to one another, in a relationship that feels like home
And the beauty of investing in this particular course is that it really is a lifetime investment! Two decades from now, you could have a bump in your path that could make you could wonder how to repair things--and then you could, in the back of your mind, remember that one Tune-Up course you did together in the 2020's... you could recall how beautiful the experience was, and how good it made you both feel to do something like that together--and you could rustle that thing up, commit to 21 days of closeness, and allow the tools shift your communication and closeness once again!
So, if this is something that sounds at all like a valuable asset, do not miss the chance to get this thing at well over half off!!!

Seriously, genuinely, and from the bottom of my tender little heart--if you feel called this direction, I believe you won't regret it.
And yes, I must admit that before Thursday, I will likely be checking in again. Because I'm a GOOD MARKETER who REMEMBERS DATES and who doesn't forget his OWN DEADLINES.
(See the power of positive self talk there? yes I doooo lead by example, don't I? ;-) )
All right lovely friends--I hope your kiddoes are winding down their school years (if they haven't done so already) and that you are all preparing for the loveliest of summers. Carlos and I are summering in full swing, going to farmer's markets, taking our dog on lots of walks, and enjoying the uncharacteristic sun of the PNW while it lasts.
Yours,
Joshua
