We Can (and we have, and we will continue to) Do Hard Things

Posted by Lindsay Tiell

  I am so grateful that I read Glennon Doyle’s book, Untamed, at the start of the pandemic and learned of her mantra, we can do hard things.

  Ever heard of the “Sunday Scaries” – or maybe you get them?

What Is Not Cancelled?

Posted by Amanda Good

  I’m not going to silver-line it: a lot of things are awful right now, and a lot of things we might look forward to at this time of year – holiday parties, gathering with family and friends, going out to restaurants for celebrations, taking winter vacations – are all cancelled.  This pandemic has given us all sorts of problems and ...READ MORE »
