Respond rather than react.

For me a Herculean task, but not the first time you've written about it.

I'll keep trying.

Safe travels,

JB

And I'm there for you. You know that.

Your growth mindset is admirable, no matter what the outcome. I’m striving to achieve “neutral thinking” for balance and a more rational approach to life challenges and decision-making. You always manage to find beauty around you and continue to create. That’s a gift in itself.

Allison, I am working on this exact thing … trying to be less reactive … so hard! But I’m seeing tiny improvements. 🙏🏽👏🏽

Love your aquarium. 🐟🐠🩷

I just gasped when I saw the aquarium photo. I have exactly the same two Wally Lamb books on my shelf, in the same place. For a split second my mind was trying to process why Allison is posting a photo of my shelf. I still miss you especially on Sunday mornings...and the afternoon, with the incredible family you've introduced us to with the Selfie series.

I've been so busy with my own work (I'm a public education activist) that I haven't had time to check in here. I need to get caught up soon. Looking forward to some summer pics with JH, too. Much love to all of you.
