I, too, am so overwhelmed by all the words. Your Substack is one of the few I take the time to read anymore. You have a knack for meeting me right where I am. Thank you!

Portals abound at this age. Mine is deeply shaped by the portal of elder care—so painful, so sweet, so close to the bone of everything it takes to consider death and its inevitability. Wish I could come to the series. So glad you’re doing it and finding our way with this next book.

Just found you here. Substack is great but a lot. I want to talk about all fours! Is the convo online?

Baby, hit me one more time. 💯 Thank you for adding your reflections and insight into this moment. Your words have inspired me. I'm taking a much-need day off tomorrow and will be asking myself: What do I need a portal to? Or what portals am I circulating through?

Ohhhh how I wish I lived in Seattle. I’ve been thinking about all of these things (death care and orcas especially). Loved your reflection and that AHP piece feels so spot on. I’m late 30s and sense the periphery of the portal
