So glad to see you in my inbox, Alex! Your sister emailed me the other day and after I read it, not realizing you were on a break for the summer, I was like, oh no, did Alex remove me as a subscriber?!
I had to read that book chapter by chapter, one chapter per day, so much to unpack and think about. A few chapters gave me goosebumps! It's a captivating book.
Love that article on gathering! I'm trying to be better about breaking out of my routine and getting together with people more often. It fills my cup and is always worth the effort.

agreed - i am going to push myself for more "front yard only" / "bring popsicles" / "1 hr max" type gatherings this fall.
You're back! BEST. DAY. EVER!
