My ebook is finally ready!

It's available on Nook, Kindle and most other online ebook distributors.

If you're still looking to get a print copy, please consider using bookshop.org. I get a little less and you pay a little more but the proceeds go to a local brick and mortar bookstore of your choosing. And I think small businesses could use the support right now.

Audiobook is still in the works and will be available in a couple months.

Oh and please leave a review if you feel inclined to do so. ❤️

It's here and ready for purchase on Amazon!

The ebooks and other online retailers are coming soon and I'll post updates when they go live.

If you're waiting for an audiobook, it is coming. It will take a couple more months as I decided to narrate it myself. So circle back in a little while to see where I'm at with that.

Also, if you're a library lover and think this book would help your community, please talk to your librarians about requesting it. I would love for everyone to have access to it no matter their financial situation.

Lastly and most importantly -- thanks so much to and for the publishing and editing support AND to all of the friends, coworkers and family members who have had so much confidence in me and kept me motivated for the last 5 ½ years. I truly appreciate all of you!

*This is also available on many of Amazon's international sites. But be advised that it's only in English currently and I use an analogy in this book using US school systems and default to US norms in some examples. I think international readers can still understand and benefit from these concepts but I wanted to acknowledge the context if you're considering a purchase.*

We FINALLY have a release date for the paperback and ebook: 02-14-2025

I am so excited to get this book out into the world!!

Although I was hoping to be done a few months ago, I wanted it to be just right. And thanks to a lot of supportive folks and their feedback, it's finally ready.

Hopefully you won't need this book on Valentine's, but if you do, maybe it can help you feel a little more seen and loved that day.

Either way it will be available on Amazon and other retailers (to be announced).

Thanks for all your support and I hope it was worth the wait! ❤️ ❤️

First print proof! And Emma's cover art made this come together better than I anticipated.

It looks like my New Year's goals from the last three years will finally be happening this year. 😅

I'm so excited and nervous to let this baby out into the world. Once the print proof passes inspection, the release date will be weeks away! Stay tuned.

Happy 2025!

Well, it's clear we're not going to make the fall deadline for my book release. 😅 My perfectionism and the holidays have pushed everything out a bit so I apologize for the delay .... but we're soooo close!

I wanted to share my favorite update so far and proof that things are still moving behind the scenes.

I'd like to introduce the cover art for my book! This amazing artwork was created by my talented sister, Emma. The image is more perfect than I could have imagined and I'm excited for you all to see the finished product in the next few weeks!

Stay tuned for more.

We're officially done with editing and into layout!

I honestly didn't plan for this release to coincide so closely to such a volatile political moment.

But a huge foundation of my personal politics is caring for ourselves and others so that we can find belonging and joy in our homes and communities.

Although I'm not a massive influencer or political candidate, I have spent years trying to create something that, I hope, can aid in healing hearts and communities.

And maybe the timing isn't really a coincidence at all.

Loss can be an overwhelming experience. Grieving is often considered the autumn of life and it can feel really dark and difficult.

If you are facing grief, this book can be a useful guide to navigating loss of any kind.
