The world has been saying "no" a lot lately. So I've made a conscious decision, and here it is: This holiday season, I'm going to say "YES" as much as I can.

Let us uphold the three hundred million years of mammalian wisdom that course through our veins: the knowledge, baked into our DNA, that we must let go of the comforts of the past in order to welcome what is to come.
The Body Beautiful: How my preschooler taught me to love myself
"I don't like my body!" My then-2-year-old screamed.

What love smells like: On bathing with my daughter
My last bath with my daughter is coming one day, but I don’t think it will be tonight.
