Read More“Randomness is not the domain of pessimists. It’s empty soil, a blank slate. The profound rarity that you ever came to be at all! That you are you as opposed to any other billion permutations of this microscopic lottery, that I am me. Despite it all, here you are, as you are.”

Read MoreI’m over at Modern Loss with a fresh take on resolutions: “Bracing yourself for a new year without someone important? Kate Inglis offers four ways to grieve differently in 2019 (hint: before it ebbs, it has to rage). This is one to share the hell out of...”
Read MoreI had such a great conversation with Kristen Chase of Cool Mom Picks—I love how she turned our time together into an audio guidebook for all griefs, from all angles, in all circles. What to do no matter where you stand in relation to loss, Medusa or not.

Read MoreThe second video reading from the book—on strength—is all about fluidity over bruce force, with public domain treasures that fit the words. Not muscle, but flow. That’s the way to life again, and I like thinking about that. I hope you do, too.
