I haven’t posted anything here since the last time I was cleaning out stuff... today it was Oliver’s drawer, and I found one of the For Daisy notebooks I had ordered to hand out to people to encourage them to “write their own story” - in his youthful handwriting and spelling I saw what he wrote in his. And as I sit here looking at it I kind of feel defeated. I just haven’t had the time/energy/ resources to dedicate to my mission of sharing hope through storytelling- even at a time when I personally could use it. Anyway - I guess what I will offer to you in this moment is this: If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, anxiety ridden, less than, failure, misunderstood, outcast, disillusioned or so tired you don’t have one drop of energy to put effort into something you deeply love - you’re not alone. You’re really, really not. Know that. I’m standing right there with you. If that can give you at least a small amount of hope - well, then I suppose my mission is advancing. All my love, hh
