UPDATE: The book release has been rescheduled to Sunday, October 24th at 1pm HST (4pm PDT/7pm EDT).
And I’m excited to announce my dear friend (and artist, guide, and remarkable human) Alison Crosthwait will be hosting the event! We’re co-creating something really special for you all. Please come and receive!
If you haven’t yet, you can RSVP here. I’ll send out a more detailed invite in the coming weeks.
(OK… now back to your regularly scheduled programming.)
Like the whites in a faded vintage photograph. I gasped and woke my sleeping partner.
“You’ve gotta see the sky right now!”
He lifted his head obligingly and said “Wow.” Then surrendered it back to the depression in the pillow where it had been resting.
My awe did not concede.
“I wonder what’s causing that. It’s so pink! It looks like a filter. Why do you think it looks like that?”
Doing his best impression of a parent who knows how to placate their too-much-energy-for-this-hour child in exchange for more sleep, he mumbled, “Sometimes it does that.”
That was 12 hours ago. I just finished cleaning up from the chili dinner I made, chiding myself for wasting the day. I had made a list of things I wanted to do, and unlike yesterday, I have not done them.
The list remains in tact.
The sun arose in splendor this morning and so did I. Now it drifts sleepily and unremarkably beyond the treeline. And for today, that’s enough.
P.S.sst…
My book is almost two weeks old! Thank you to everyone who has supported me at this stage by buying a copy. I am so grateful.
My prayer for this book is to provide hope for other mothers who have lost their children. You can help it reach those who need it most by leaving a review. It doesn’t have to be lengthy or poetic — an honest sentence or two is all it takes to help someone decide to take a chance on it.
Thank you all — love to you all!
