Hey, y’all,
Happy new month!
Are you guys excited about the next chapter of 2023? The second quarter of the year? We are so giddy that we get to put those four months in our rearview. We’re about to open a new page, forget all the sad occurrences, and embrace a new dawn filled with happiness, joy, and immense success!
? ? ?? ? ?
But… (y’all know a but was coming) before we dive into a new era, we just wanted to look at some of the headlines that got you hooked this first quarter.
From the whole Jonathan Majors story (we aren’t sure what’s true and not true anymore. All we can do is sit back and watch as it unfolds) to the endless Tamika and Latocha Scott tiffs (these two would write a whole book) and the Amy Robach and TJ Holmes public affair, the first four months have been riddled with never-ending drama, tear-jerking stories, and completely mind-blowing headlines.
And it’s not about to stop.
So, we vow to continue keeping you in the loop with the latest news, provide you with fun, captivating and inspiring content and stay true to our mission and values as ECT.
We also want to thank you for staying with us, perusing through our pages, keeping in touch on our socials, and for your endless and undying support. We love you, we appreciate you, and we see you!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
