As my thirtieth birthday looms on the horizon, I find myself spending more and more time reflecting on the last decade of my life. I don’t have anything particularly poignant to share today (got to save stuff for ma book), but on this day of thanks, I will say that I’m grateful for my twenties and the people who have filled them. These last ten years have been filled with some of the most important parts of my life.

Hello Friends,

  1. I wrote a piece this week in honor of my father’s 60th birthday. A lot of people seemed to like it. You should give it a go if you haven’t already: 60 Thoughts on Your Birthday: A Letter to My Father
  2. and the floor was always lava is in its second printing. The printer has the files, and soon, I’ll have a whole new batch of books! In the meantime, you can actually pre-order your signed copy in order to receive free shipping (plus, the book is now only $10)!
