“Life will break your heart in a thousand ways, but there's still music and there's still dancing. There's still coffee and toast. There's still kissing and there are still late dinners on busy sidewalks. Twinkly lights, novels, old movies, soft blankets, black-and-white photos, French braids, salty hot french fries dipped in mayo and ketchup. We're still falling in love. We're still learning to forgive. We're still watching our kids learn and grow and stretch into their next selves. We're still watching the sun as it rises and as it sets, still watching the moon wax and wane. We're still trying, still hoping, still getting it wrong and getting it right.”

“I know now that I'm strong enough, brave enough, whole enough to hold it all - how it was and how it ended. What I got wrong, what I made right, who I was, who I wasn't, who I've yet to become. What I miss, what was lost, what's still unfolding. I'm not perfect or shiny or bulletproof. The story of my life is not a fairy tale. It's not a horror story. It's just a story like most stories - dark and light and beautiful and terrible and still being written.”

“When I decided to relocate and settle in one place, I didn’t even have to think about where to go. I’m the spinning needle of a compass and you’ve always been my true north, Parker.”

“We learn to grab joy and delight when we can. We learn that we don't control plotlines, even though we forget sometimes. We learn that every good thing takes time and work and patience. We learn to be suspicious of overnight success or magic solutions. We learn to ask for help, to ask for space, to ask for second chances. We learn how tough we are, and how beloved. We learn to keep going, because all the times we thought we couldn't take one more step, we did .What's the option? We kept going then, and we can keep going now. It isn't pretty, but if I've learned anything, it's that there's a lot more to life than pretty.”

“We're strong and we're not. We make progress and then we falter and we show up anyway, again and again and again, and when we tell the truth about what we're carrying, it makes us feel less alone and less stuck, and when we show up anyway and tell others about what we're carrying, it makes everyone feel less alone and less stuck. You just do all of it right in the middle of your normal, messy life. The greatest moments of your professional life unfold right while you're having a hard time sleeping or you go back to therapy or you think you might be in early menopause. All we have is right here, right now.”
