Hi Lindsey! I saw this mug and immediately thought of you. You simply MUST have it! I’d love to gift it to you as a way of thanking you for sharing your beautiful writing, book recs, musings and curiosities. Please reach out to me via email at cammie@me.com if you’d like. (I bought your car when you found out you were pregnant with twins and have never forgotten your precious family!)

I just want to say that I could not breathe as I read your words about "being cool." I thought it was just me who had squandered so many precious years in an effort to hide the person I thought was so uncool and certainly most unacceptable. It happened to me in dance class when I was 11 and I went underground in an instant, staying hidden through adolescence and a good chunk of my adult life. I am now 71 years old and just last year went back to dance. I am intentionally and consciously trying to live every single precious moment.

Thank you so much for reminding me of how it was and who I became and, most importantly, of the freedom to choose that I now truly cherish. It is NEVER too late.

“Underground in an instant” is such a powerful way of putting it. Why do we do this?! But your story of dancing again at 71 is AMAZING. Yes yes yes yes. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
