"I can be uncomfortable all the time or I can make the whole world my comfort zone." This resonated deeply with a younger, more anxious me. Thank you, 24-year-old Diana, and also to 2023 Diana for sharing it with us!
Lovely meditation on self acceptance! My weirdest New Year’s Eve was Y2K when we thought airplanes were going to crash. I had to be on a conference call with work until 1 AM and we knew the world is not coming to an end. But that is the end of the story. The rest is way too boring!
I agree it’s silly to need one designated day to make resolutions - I resolve to be better every day. Like I resolve to read your posts (that’s an easy one to keep!) and respond to get me back in touch with my own free-style writing.
I wonder If I too should be writing from my desk and not the couch but then think how lucky I am to be able to work from the couch. And I love that you imagine us reading your writing.
Weird NYE - I made a buffet dinner and invited guests. One of the guests leaned against the buffet table and sat in the jello mold. I wish he were reading this - I know he'd remember. I haven't made jello since. I can't believe I used to make jello molds.
I'm so glad and grateful to be able to read your words here.
Ted! I can't believe you even read my newsletter. I'm so touched. You know I hold your brain on the highest pedestal.
Soooo much I love about this one!
So much I love about you! Hope you're doing well out there. xo

Thank you, dear Molly!

Oh, that was a SUPER weird New Year's Eve! I was at a party and we were all kind of lazily wondering if the world was about to end.

You're the best, Jami. Thank you! And that's a good perspective on couch-working. :)

Diana, really loved reading this piece!

You have to tell me later who it was.
