Ooo okay now I can't wait to read!
Next stop: Inspo City! I am giddy as I read through this, seeing all the ways I can be inspired by (steal) your method for using random scraps to write something truly profound and, dare I say it, VaLuE gIvInG.
"To be witnessed by that group of women without the pressure of being watched." This sounds holy and unforgettable. Thanks for sharing that memory and your process!
Cannot wait for this one. 💜

No pressure! 😅 I still feel indignant about how long it takes me to pull these essays together, but at least it's getting close(r).

STEAL AWAY! This makes me so stupid happy. ❤️

Ahhhh YES! This! I hadn't totally put my finger on this, but you're so right.
