And just like that, your post is exactly what I needed at this moment. Thank you for always finding a way to show up, to put your thoughts together for a most coherent and tangible read, and not giving up on days you questioned yourself.

Love this one. I hear ya on the head cold. But you could be speaking of any form of recovery, depression , etc. Asawa is such a wise one. Streep too seems preternaturally wise. I will listen to these words and thank you for sharing them
