The show everyone's leaving their husbands over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I left my husband once. Fourteen years ago, for about six months. I’m not going to walk through the whole of it — some things stay mine, and stay ours — but I’ll tell you the part that matters here: I went back to him, and it was right. Not right in the tidy, everything-resolved way. Right the way your own body tells you something is true before your mind catches up. I’ve never once doubted it.What I haven’t told many people is that there have still been a few times since, in fourteen years, whe
Sunday, Reheated (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sundays used to smell like banana bread. Sometimes blueberry muffins. The kids would drift in.I don’t bake anymore. And for a long time I would tell myself it was only a season.

It’s like the word means something different every time it’s said, depending on who’s saying it and what they want.Another homeschool year starting. The word comes up again. One daughter turning 18 this week, another turning 12 in November. Hubby keeps throwing the word around. I’ve kind of just let him. It’s easier than asking him to define it, which I su

I’ve renamed this publication enough times this week that I stopped trying to explain each one. Some of that was genuine reconsidering. Some of it was brain fog — the kind that makes a person confident about a decision on Tuesday and unable to remember making it by Thursday.Here’s where things settled, over a coffee that’s still hot: Midlife, But First Coffee.Two threads live here. Social Graces is for the woman running her business — the strategy, the systems, the half-built funnel, the podcast
