Make Sure You See My Newsletter

These days, a lot of legitimate email is classified as “spam” by overzealous spam filters. To be sure you get my newsletters, please do whatever is necessary to keep your mail program from misclassifying my newsletters as spam. The address from which I will send my mailing is: rachelle@rachelleayala.com
