Ooh, your new business looks amazing and the website is gorgeous! So exciting.
Little kids' big emotions are such a useful lesson for me (as someone who learned to squish down and ignore all my feelings) about how big feelings can be, and that I can have compassion for others -- but also for myself -- when a real or metaphorical popsicle falls off the stick. I'm slooowly working on giving myself some space, when something disappointing happens, to feel my own big toddler feeling go up and down and tell myself: Yeah, that WAS disappointing, huh? Instead of "get over it don't be ridiculous."
Question for you: What's a song that you're enjoying these days? (I got totally obsessed with that Sara Bareilles Orpheus/Fire combo you posted once.)
Right, honestly I needed to re-read that essay. As the kids get older finding that same compassion looks different.
SONGS!!! I am delighted to hear you've been listening to Orpheus, so good. Right now, I hate to say it, but while building the website I was watching some Grammy's performances and Miley Cyrus's Flowers got me, and Beyonce's two new songs, and Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For. Basically, basic ear worms. No deep cuts. But, for one that is not so popular Noah Cyrus and Leon Bridges have a song July that sticks with me, too.
Oooh, a question for you this time! What is your favorite type of pie? Personally, I love all flavors of pie, just about - I love a chicken pot pie or an apple pie, a coconut cream or pumpkin, a lemon merengue or a chess pie... But if I had to choose just one last slice of pie for the rest of my entire life, I think I'd pick a slice of chocolate hazelnut pie from the much-missed Pie Chest (RIP).
I have déjà vu about this whole post and conversation. LOL. But, any excuse to talk about pie more is fine with me. Um, I think sweet potato is my all time like good memories, comfort, cultural relevant feel good pie. But otherwise I am fairly equal opportunity- I like key lime, blueberry, cherry.... you know, pie. I feel like I maybe had a vegan pot pie from somewhere near Cville but I can't remember where. RIP Pie Chest, indeed.

ooh okay first of all (a) nothing wrong with basic earworms and (b) July!! Love it. Thank you.
I love July, too. It's a go to! Aah, I have to find the other song you recommended because I can't remember it.
