Writing begets more writing (it’s just f*cking true)
Birthdays, ballots, and baby’s first NaNoWriMo

When you’re feeling lost, help someone else
The 'before' matters more than the 'after'
September was a big, busy month
Everything happens for a season
Step by step is the only way forward
You can’t escape sorrow, but you can create joy
One fancy alarm clock, five books, and 100 days of meditation
A long walk can lighten most anything
Work is not the most important thing
Kayak trips, flight delays, and a soft spot to land

The return home is rarely smooth
Discomfort is normal — and rewarding!
Hotel pools, wooden cats, and a major dose of nostalgia

Throwback: What if we did less?
In what ways could you use help?
