Every time I tell people how much I love to knit, they seem so surprised! But it truly has become one of my most meaningful (and fun) pastimes.
For me, knitting is a release. It lets my hands lead the way as my mind trails behind. And it turns out that knitting was buried in my DNA—I am the descendant of many seamstresses. My mom shared with me that every woman on her side of the family learned how to work a needle and thread, to sew, crochet, and knit.
During the peak of the pandemic, when everything felt so bleak, the act of stitching, purling, casting on and off is how I kept my anxiety at bay. Practicing it roots me in this idea that I talk about in my book, The Light We Carry called “the power of small.” It’s the idea that narrowing your focus into a small, seemingly insignificant task can remind us of our own agency. It shows us our own ability to build, create, and succeed. I truly believe that when you know you are capable of small tasks, it makes the bigger ones feel easier. In this case, every small stitch builds into a bigger purpose.
What’s something that you’ve picked up as a hobby or practice that has helped you during these last few years?
I’d love to hear from you in the comments. And if you have some photos, tag me in your post using . 🧶

Michelle Obama Has Some Advice
In her new book, “The Light We Carry,” the former first lady shares coping strategies for surviving stress and uncertainty.
by Michelle Obama is finally here! In this inspiring follow-up to her #1 bestselling memoir BECOMING, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today’s highly uncertain world.

Calling all audiobook lovers! Michelle Obama narrates audiobook, out tomorrow! Listen to a sneak peek here! 👇
Four years ago, when I released my memoir, Becoming, I traveled across the country and around the world, meeting so many incredible people—including many of you. It was a little bit scary to share so much of my story for the first time, but I was moved to see so many of you opening up and sharing your stories, too.
And then, the pandemic hit, leaving us isolated at home during a time of uncertainty. And like everyone else, I had a lot of questions about how to overcome anxiety and fear when it felt like the ground was moving beneath us—and I heard those questions from so many of you as well.
That’s when I began the writing process. I think of The Light We Carry as a toolbox of sorts. It’s a collection of practices and perspectives that I draw on when I need to stay balanced and confident, especially in times of anxiety and stress. Some of these tools are habits. Some are actual physical objects. Others are attitudes and beliefs from my ongoing journey of becoming.
I poured a lot into this book, and my hope is that it might give you some ideas for your own journey. Because even when the world feels dark and uncertain, we always have the ability to kindle our own light by looking inside ourselves and then sharing it with others.
With being released this Tuesday, I wanted to share some of the stories and ideas from my new book with all of you. I hope you’ll follow along. ❤️
