Giving yourself "permission to do nothing," is one of the hardest things a GenX woman can do. Somewhere in the furthest reaches of your mind waits the ever-present "List". It's like a never-ending CVS receipt scroll... Somehow visualizing it on fire always seems to help. Take that, you List! 😂 🔥

This is so helpful, Laurie - and beautifully written. Sending a big hug to Hoover and his hooman.

Thank you so much for this. I have spent a lot of time hiding myself away in fear of bringing my misery on others but I think that perhaps spending time with others might actually help me.

It is what saves me over and over again! We all need and deserve friendship and mutual support. I hope you’ll try it.
