YAY SEPTEMBER! I'm nervous about the semester because I'm trying to teach my creative nonfiction students how to land on that fine line between pushing themselves toward writing about hard things while simultaneously taking care of themselves and their mental health. I suppose that's just the challenge of making art, though, right?

Oooh yes, I love that you're thinking about this before the semester starts. Is it a fine line? Or can it be some kind of gradient, with different shades according to the topic and how they're feeling/not feeling? Fine line makes me think of a balancing act, but maybe it can be a more subtle process? Or at least that's how I feel at this exact moment, hah. They are so lucky to have you!

Pre K already?! I can’t believe it. But if anyone can lean in to the excitement of a big change it’s you, Charspo.

I am thrilled and nervous to be leaving my company of two years after a really tough exit process, but I am choosing to believe in myself and my career aspirations that are bigger than where I currently am at.

Thank you for your newsletter. I actually don't even know how I got subscribed to it but it has just started showing up when I've really needed signs from the universe.
