Hi, all, and happy Thursday! Today I did something I almost never do: I took a spontaneous day off. This was for two reasons: First, my sister and her family are in town for a couple of days; they’re staying with us. This group includes a 7-year old niece and 1-year old nephew, both of whom I adore. When sharing the house with them there’s little opportunity (or incentive) to shut the office door and stare at a laptop.
My steadfast reads are you, Heather Cox Richardson, and Jay Kuo. I can reassure you that every time one of you needs a break, even without an explanation, I am here fully supporting you. I love knowing that you know how to care of yourself and those around you and you take the space you need.
Good energy is being sent your way from the Boston area! 💫💖
I agree!!! My reads are the same except substitute Robert Hubbell for Jay Kuo. You deserve any breaks! Our lives are short. Sending love and gratitude for all your work!
First of all, thank you both. And second of all: I would posit that both Hubbell's and Kuo's publications are indispensable! Perhaps you'll each come away from this little conversation with a new newsletter to love!
I'm so sorry for your and your family's loss. The future is never guaranteed, so I hope your family time was joyful and fulfilling. The work will be there later.
Do not feel guilty about taking a day off. Family and friends can only be enjoyed while you are alive. If you spend most of your time with family and friends your life will be well lived and definitely enjoying. Come back smiling and all will be forgiven.
Please, please, please take time off when you need to. We all do. You need to feel 100% okay doing that. We all love you and marvel at what you do, day in, day out.

Incredibly so, thanks!
Sending a virtual hug to you and your family….this moment/day(s) with them is what is most important.
Take comfort that you always inspire us to carry on…💙
Thank you, Kathy. Much appreciated.

100% agree. Thank you!
Such good news and bad news for you at the same time. Many hugs being sent your way.
Thank you! Accepted!
You are one of those miracles too.
Truly appreciated.
Enjoy the family that is with you, we all need that from time to time. God be with the family of your friend.
Indeed, and thanks.
Yay you! All good reasons to have time for yourself, family and friends.
🥰🥰🥰
Bless you and good for you for focusing on your loved ones.
Good for you, Jessica!
My deepest condolences to your brother for such a profound loss.
I'll pass it along, thanks.
By coincidence I did just as you suggested. I spoke with a friend whom I’d not seen in a long time and told her that I loved her. Felt so good. 💕
Powerful. Thank you for doing that and telling me about it!

Thank you, Karen!
Condolences and blessings to
You. Enjoy the time off!
Thank you, Cathy!
So sorry to hear about your friend passing, but glad you are spending time with your family. Thank you also for that great article. XX
It was good, right? Helps explain why the Dems are so dug in--as they should be.
Take care of you ... and of everyone you love. Amen!
It was well worth it. (:
