Calling It Done (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My son pulls the dining table chair under the ceiling anchor to reach a ring he’s less than two inches short of. I resist the urge to get up and solve his problem. He figures it out himself—and then asks me to do the rest. The last room of The Unhurried House: finishing isn’t the point; it’s a practice. We talk about the three chapters I wrote in 116 days, the nine I wrote in 17, and the finished first draft I’m already afraid will never be good enough to publish. There is still no guarantee. Se
The Mother I'm Becoming (opens the original)

A fight breaks out between the kids and I’m jumping to verdicts before I’ve even heard the whole story. I swing back and forth between too much give and not enough, mostly with my daughter. But it’s what I do to myself, too. The tender room of The Unhurried House: how I’m choosing to show up. We talk about how I’m paying forward what I never received and why the verdict I hand my daughter is the perfection I demand of myself. I’m still working through it.

The Woman I Was (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once flew across the world to ask a Balinese shaman what to do with my life. He told me to trust—that it would come. I was too busy trying on everyone else’s life to hear him. Room 5 of The Unhurried House: the borrowed self. We talk about the strangers’ scripts I wore after my mom died, the book I couldn’t write until it was finally mine, and how the borrowing never really stopped—it just changed costumes when I became a mother. Send this to the one mom in your life who’s ready to stop borrow
