Andy, how I LOVED reading these thoughts from you. So fun, so cool to be there with you in all of the YOU that you are. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. "I don’t know in hindsight how successful I was in achieving that purpose, but something else happened entirely that caught me by a huge surprise. With all this build up on how I was striving to be really seen, what struck me most was what I saw instead." This? TOTALLY.

"And she’s doing some cool stuff right now that I’m really glad I didn’t miss. Not just in basketball, but as a human." Oh, I loved that. This is SUCH an exciting time for these oldest kiddos of ours. I so wish the scheduling would have allowed you to be there because it would have been SO fun to share a table and lots of laughs with y'all, but I totally see where you are coming from on this and I think you spoke to it perfectly!

I am SO GLAD you linked to that TAL episode!!! Wasn't it just incredible and amazing and so thought-provoking? I've been meaning to mention it to friends for days. So good. So glad you are loving Invisibilia, too. (And you know what else? I am loving that you have kept this up every month for so long. It's always a delight and look how many people love it, too!!!)

I love you. So very, very much. Life circumstances have forced me to confront living by only what matters and I have fought it tooth and nail. It felt like giving up. The way you are framing it here is kind of saving my life.

at long last, the last call

It's important to me, for many reasons, that you know the timeline of this decision. I am hyper-aware of my flakiness, and it's really important to me that you know that this announcement doesn't come lightly or off-the-cuff or easily.... Continue reading
