So sad - the palisades really were so beautiful. Your husbands quote was so moving “if we had gotten everything we wanted, we would have nothing now.” I’m glad you both are safe!!

So beautiful. Yeah I got goosebumps when he said that. Unfortunately I made the mistake of telling him a lot of people liked that line and now he's joking about starting his own substack and trying to drop "wise one liners" so that he gets featured again, lol.

While this whole article left me feeling richer for having read it, Part Three was entirely inspiring. What a healthy, beautiful practice. I may have to adopt this ritual for myself!

Thank you for sharing bits of your heart....

Thank you friend! That tile was already there before we moved in and it feels like a kiss from Heaven.

Thank you for this, Brooke. I'll be sitting with these words, turning them over in my mind, for quite a while.

Oh, and such perfect timing, I watched The Taste of Things for the first time just a few days ago and definitely thought of you! Feel like I could talk about it for days! So beautiful.

It's truly marvelous isn't it? I had to watch it in fits and bursts because I simply didn't want it to end.
