Received. Sounds like you’re taking much-needed time off. Your perspective reminds me of what it’s like to rest—something I’ve forgotten. So thank you. I hope your daughter is feeling better. I look forward to your return, but only when you’re ready. Yours, Trish

Thank you so much, Trish ❤️ I’ve been more offline than normal this summer and it’s allowed space for me to dream into the next phase of my life and focus on building blocks.

Thank you, Sara! I was wondering if it would send to emails, too. Substack is going through some growing pains and I’m still trying to figure out how the control panel works! ❤️

Thank you so much, Gemma! She has been very grave. We promised her a lifetime of ice cream and she really took to that! Not a tear shed during the process! ❤️

Thank you so much, Threase! I love that you are taking some time away to create the next road. I always regret that I never took any time off between any jobs. It’s the one piece of advice I’m going to give me daughter. I think it’s so weird that we all go from one role to the next with no breaks. It’s no way to live. And it’s up to all of us to change the way we think about life. ❤️
