I just read a really good book. It’s called What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. Have you read this? It’s about a woman who falls off her bike in spin class and forgets the last 10 years of her life. She doesn’t remember her kids or that she’s divorcing her husband, she can’t remember her

If You Give a Mom a Minute
I’m sort of tired. I’m a little confused. I wish I could stop thinking. I need to power down. I move from one thing to another to another. I’m like the pig…you know, the one they gave a pancake to. Then he needed syrup. You know how the story goes. For me, it’s like this.

Have you heard of this?
You know when someone comes into your life and opens it up? You know what I mean? They help steer you down a new path. They teach you a new way of understanding. Every single encounter has value. Whether the encounter is positive or negative, whether your relationship with this person is 5 minutes
