    About That Time I Moved Across The Country For A Guy. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I flew into Kalymnos late, off a flight from London, for a two-week sailing trip I’d signed up for after 9/11 because I needed to get out of New York for a while. The woman who ran the pensione checked me in, practically giddy. “Oh,” she said, “some man is very excited to meet you.” I had no idea what that meant. The future hubs and I had exchanged a few brief emails, mostly establishing that I’d stop by after I landed that evening. Apparently, that was enough for her. She walked me to his room,

    After 9/11, We Showed Up. Would We Today? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    On September 14th, 2001, three days after the attacks, someone from work called and asked me if I could come back to work.I’d spent those three days in a doom loop in front of the television watching the news and hitting the F5 button on the news websites of the time. I needed something to do with my hands that wasn’t cycling through the same three channels and websites. Oh, and responding to emails from everyone in my life asking if I was ok.

    Before we start, I’m not here to take away your Diet Coke, or whatever thing you love.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I’ve spent the last few months navigating my mother’s health crisis from Seattle while my sister handles things on the ground. Somewhere in the middle of that, I started having conversations with women — and men — about how our mothers shaped us. How we show up. What we carry. What we’ve had to unlearn.That’s what What She Taught Me is: honest conversations about that influence, good, bad, complicated, and everything in between. Whether your mother was your greatest champion, your biggest challe

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Allie was on her monthly check-in with me in July, ticking through the next six weeks the way she ticks through dependencies on a transaction.“We come back from vacation that Saturday, then school starts that Tuesday, then the new au pair starts, and a whole bunch of back to school stuff and a work trip is like that Monday to Wednesday,” she said. “So it’s just like — throw it all there and figure it out.”Sounds like a disaster, right?
