Hi Reader, Okay, I have to face it. Summer is over, fall is in full glory, and I've been slacking. No emails in how many weeks??? Well, I'm cooking up a special email with two BIG announcements. So look for that tomorrow. But right now, one of the things I pray about every day is to do things that benefit others over myself. And that is what this email is about.

Hi Reader, What does it feel like when you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing? Not as in, “I’m supposed to be watering the garden so I feel guilty sitting here drinking this 🍸.” Or, “I’m supposed to shave my legs but damn if I’ll conform to patriarchal beauty standards.” 😡 I mean: What does it feel like when you’re not doing what you came to this life to do? What your spirit is calling you to do? That kind of “supposed to.” For me, it felt like chains around my heart. I couldn’t...

Hi Reader, The Fourth of July was the first time I got drunk. My family had a yard party every year, with a keg that us kids snuck cupfuls of beer from. We weren’t that stealth so I don’t know why the adults didn’t stop us. Maybe they chalked it up to “the things kids do.” I just remember stumbling and knocking over a side table later that night. No one talked about the significance of the day. We stuck a flag on the fence, ate hot dogs and burgers, lit fireworks in the parking lot across the...
