Being in the present moment has been essential during times like this. It fosters space in the mind and allows for gratitude to spontaneously arise. That's what's been helping me these days, in addition to watching my kids grow, be kind (most of the time) and looking into their big, sparkly eyes! I know one day they will grow into intelligent, conscientious adults and that gives me comfort to some degree.
I love everything about this! Congrats on your 1-year Substackiversary and for dreaming in all the places inside the messy middle. I love Maggie Rogers and appreciate her wisdom. Can't wait to see what's ahead in this next year for you!
I heard Tom Hanks collects typewriters, maybe he can spare one lol. I use the Cold Turkey Writer on my Mac. It locks me out of everything except a simple screen where all I can do is type for a certain amount of minutes or words. The only way to get out is to shut the computer down by holding the power button!
I will ask him asap!! Is he on Substack? Worth a try 🤩
OKAY and very interested in cold turkey!! Setting an alarm to download it when I get back from this dog walk 💜
Does something similar exist for the phone? I have seriously considered investing in one of those phone lock boxes 🫣 self-control has been HARD lately.

Yesss! Presence and space and gratitude and those sparkly eyes of theirs certainly help pull me into presence 💗
