Help, please!!! Which do you like better? Debating changing my cover and title!!! Yes, the book comes out 9/22!! It’s about rewriting the script of my life and reinventing myself in middle age. It’s about taking chances, mistakes, motherhood, love, loss, getting through, building, processing. It’s a quick read — (hopefully) funny, poignant, intimate, like a conversation with a close friend designed to make you feel seen. If you like my Instagram captions, you’ll love my book. 😂😂😂Which is better???? Help!!!

Maria Shriver’s vulnerable, beautiful essay today is a must read this Memorial Day — but really anytime. For anyone in a quiet house wondering what’s next or who loves someone who is. For anyone looking for purpose and human connection. For anyone who has served in or lost someone in the military. Read it. Link in stories. Thank you, , for using your platform to help and inspire. You have more fans and friends than you can possibly know.
