I WROTE A CHILDREN’S BOOK! It’s called “Read it Again!” and it’s illustrated by the epically talented @steven_purifoy . It celebrates each kid’s passion for reading stuff over and over and over. Great for little readers of all ages.

Hey, Milo fans! HE’S HOME! My son was discharged from the hospital this past weekend after a grueling two-month fight for survival. Mom and I are proud beyond words. Lots of meds to take now and appointments to keep, but he gets to end each day in his bed. WIN.

I've struggled with anxiety ever since my first full-blown panic attack my freshman year in college, but didn't really diagnose it until my mid-30s. I've been taking Lexapro daily since last summer. I see a therapist every week. And I meditate for 5 minutes or more regularly.
