You're doing it all!! Riding the wave. I love the garden metaphor (and I love your garden- it's so gorgeous and wild, as I think gardens *should* be). I hope you find moments this week to just take it all in and acknowledge that you got yourself here to this moment. You wrote a book and it's in the world. You've helped create a beautiful family and space and a safe cocoon for Story. You're amazing and I am so happy for you. 💕

Wheeeee, here you go!!! I'm so excited gor you, Kelly NPR!). River's advice is perfect about enjoying this week, your book entering the world at large. Savor it, be proud of yourself, and know that so many women in fire are going to feel SEEN when they read your book. Thank you for sharing your flaws with us so humanly. Proud of you.

I love this so so much and I also empathize deeply with the hairdryer thing lol. Your book is spectacular and I can’t wait for the world to experience it.

Like hairdryers? Are so annoying? I had to buy a new one, too, because I realized mine was legit from 2008 and was drying like 6 strands of hair in 20 minutes. Anyway, thank you so much!!! I'm so grateful for your consistent championing of this book. I cannot wait to do the same for yours one day!
