After appearing beneath every essay for four years, BETWEEN YOU AND ME is now a special offering for paid subscribers. It features fun behind-the-scenes updates and recommendations like I’d share over coffee with a friend. Today, let’s get real about stress. Thank you so much for being here!

Dear Friends,

It brings me great relief to be back in this space with you! What a delight to be in conversation through this exchange we have enjoyed for almost five (!!) years now. My quieter weeks this spring did not indicate lack of care, waning interest, or an absence of things to say.

In contrast it would be fair to say that I care more than ever. And I have more to say, these days, than I can begin to express. The ideas run around in little circles in the back of my mind until I have time to do something about them. When it comes to WE’RE ALL FRIENDS HERE, silence could only mean one thing.

Survival mode.
