"Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are anger and courage.
Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." (St. Augustine)

Sending love today to everyone who is holding on to hope, listening to anger, and moving in courage, however small it feels.

An editor once told me no book is for everyone but every book is for someone. I think about that often.

Someone told me that they are reading my book as a book club and talking through the exercises together this summer. So, you mean to tell me that what I dreamed of happening is actually happening?!

“Suck it up” is a survival move. Sometimes necessary. But thriving asks a different question: What’s another way forward? Even a small experiment can open a new door.

You weren’t meant to be good at everything. Your strengths are your unique lane. You’re allowed to stay in yours and let others shine in theirs.

Both saying yes to new things AND saying no to what doesn’t fit are acts of alignment. Both require courage. And both get easier when you’re listening to what you truly want.

I dreamt of writing a book someday in 2018. I started writing this specific book in 2021. I signed a contract in 2023. This week I’ll share it with the people I wrote it for. I’m so grateful. 💙📘#Booksky

Not even 24 hours later. So in other words you think we’re stupid.

My dream of being a published author will become a reality in ten days. I have to contend with the inauguration between now and then, but I will take this one step at a time.

In the Costco parking I look over and see two folks loading about 25 bottles of champagne in their trunk. I say, “Hey, congratulations on whatever you’re celebrating!” They reply, “Oh thanks, but it’s a funeral.”
Currently looking into other cities to move to. Okay bye.

“You have to figure out how you feel about you…But do you like it? If you like it, then do it and put it out. They might not. They may shoot it down before they even see it. That's fine. That's not why you made it. “
