I really regret all that stuff I did to the antagonist now.
Today's News:
Pre-orders for my new book Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home have begun!
Sawyer Lee is an illustrated middle grade novel starring an unadventurous kid who'd rather dig a deep dent in the couch than make a mark on the world, as many in his illustrious family of astronauts, scientists, spies, champion athletes... blah blah blah... have. He has decided that after generations of effort, it’s time to spend one lifetime relaxing.
The
problem is that Sawyer keeps getting caught up in the exhausting
expectations of his wicked aunt Celia, his complex relationship with his
ambitious other friend, Angela, and the shenanigans of every else
in town hoping to win the yearly Gourd Thump festival celebrating
nature’s dullest vegetable.
In this tale of mystery, treachery,
conspiracy, plant husbandry, and an imaginary love triangle, Sawyer
knows it will take a regrettable amount of energy to escape these
entanglements and find a way back to his happy place on Gary’s couch,
with a cozy throw blanket, a steaming mug of chamomile tea, and an empty
schedule.

Plus, if you’re feeling a little fearless, dishes like this are also a friend to those with one oven (hi!) and many things to reheat at once. My approach? I Jenga them. I stack rectangular and oval dishes two or three high in the oven, turning each so it steadies on the one below. Just don’t bump anything, okay?

post_secret_feedDear Frank,
I write to you with incredible news. Last month, I brought home my new service dog, Tango. This was made possible by this Sunday Secret Post.
That post led to nearly $10,000 of donations within 2 weeks! I send all my love to you and to every single person from the PostSecret community and beyond who contributed, as well as those who weren’t able to contribute but still saw the post and hoped on my behalf. You all have made something amazing happen for this 25-year-old woman who is now so excited for the life of independence, freedom, and trust Tango and I are building together.
Thank you for hearing me and helping me that chilly day in Connecticut several years ago, Frank. The secret I shared in that auditorium was one of despair, believing I would never be able to partner with a service dog of my own. I am so grateful to be able to look back on that day and smile because I just didn’t know yet what good fortune was coming my way.
If you would like to make a difference in someone’s life this Giving Tuesday, please consider the following non-profits.

Dear Frank,
A few years ago, I came to one of your shows in Ohio. I was in a really bad season of life – my depression and anxiety were bogging me down. Most days, I did not want to be alive. I had counseling the day of the show, and I told my counselor that it was free and I had been waiting years to be able to go to one of your shows, but that my depression wasn’t allowing me to even feel excited at the opportunity. She convinced me to go, and I will always be thankful for that. I ended up getting a seat right next to the stage and it was so awesome. I cried almost the whole time because I had felt actual joy again for what felt like the first time in forever. I was surrounded by strangers, yet somehow felt we were all connected by just being there together.
Anyways, you ended up giving me one of the books in the middle of your show, and had written a message in it (I didn’t yet know this) At some point, you offered people to go to the back/side of the room where there were microphones – you said we could share a secret or a story. I quietly got up and went to the back so I could share. While I was waiting, to my surprise, you said something along the lines of “there was a young lady sitting up here who I gave the book to. I had written a message in there but I think she left?” To which I shouted, “no, I’m just back here!!!!” I ended up sharing with the audience about how I came to know about PostSecret (two of my best friends who I feel have changed my life forever, for the better, introduced me to you and your website and your books) and how I struggled with suicidal thoughts and how coming to your show that night was the first think that felt right that whole year.
I cried into the microphone as I shared what reading the Sunday secrets for all these years has done for me and I thanked you for helping me feel known, seen, and heard. You walked from the stage to meet me as I was waking back to my seat and hugged me. I cried even more! You said to the audience something along the lines of, “it’s ironic that you shared your story tonight, because the message I wrote in your book says, “the world needs to hear your voice!” and it was just such a moment! You also handed me the dollar bill you had kept in your wallet, the one that had, “we are all part of something bigger and we are all part of it together.” I cried, again! To no surprise haha. I felt such happiness, such gratitude. I called my mom after the show and she ended up writing you on Facebook to thank you because she had been so worried about me. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you thank you. You have no idea how much that night meant and still means to me. I’m happy to report that life is better these days. I still have anxiety and depression, but I don’t want to die anymore. I framed that dollar bill and I see it everyday and I’m reminded that it’s good to be alive, even when it doesn’t always feel like it.
