I want to thank you for taking the time to read my previous love letter. So many of you responded, sharing your personal stories about how the current turmoil in the world is impacting your everyday life. It was powerful to welcome those stories from you. So thank you.
I also heard from many that what they receive from Baum-kuchen brings light, beauty, and deeper exploration of the inner world, whether it’s through a beautifully wrapped BK signature parcel, inspiration for slow moments, or time spent around our analogue table during Sunday opening hours. I truly love what we do at Baum-kuchen, bringing goodness through who we are and how we show up for the community. There are so many ways to keep activating ourselves to serve the bigger world, and I am reminded that it doesn’t necessarily always have to be loud or hyper-visible. Intentionally creating calm, steady, and nervous-regulating space for the community is meaningful, especially during times like this. And I am committed to keep pouring my heart into shaping the BK oasis, one corner of the space at a time.

I would like to acknowledge that this love letter will feature the final Love for Analogue story from A.C. for this season. I look forward to exploring other creative projects with A.C. as future opportunities arise. If you were touched by the stories A.C. shared over the last six years and feel called to reach out, please shower them with your thoughts.
