“I had to take a leap of trust, as we all do, that it would be the kindest thing for me as well as for my husband and students, and each new person I encountered that day.” I think it’s funny that there is a voice inside me that says, you can’t do that, you can’t let go, relax in that way, take another minute to sit…I had such a moment over lunch yesterday and then layer in the day I gave in to reading outside with my pup, and I’m so glad I did. It did make me more living with my family because I took care of me first. Today, I woke up with a cold and realized I should have been so kind all day long. Thank you for this beautiful poem. That is an adorable photo of you and Brad, and this upcoming book and tour is so joyous. Congratulations!

Thank you, dear Mary. Hope you feel better soon! Colds are my body's way of telling me to be kinder to myself, I think... xoxo

"But as I often say, and rediscover for myself again and again, it takes so little for us to return to ourselves."

This is such a good reminder. Thank you!
