PLEASE WATCH THIS…
Dear Ones —
I had the honor to hear this speech live at the TED conference back in March of this year.
This is the luminous Andrew Solomon, speaking about the ways that suffering, pain and exclusion can shape our lives in surprisingly beautiful ways.
I love this man. He is a bringer of light.
I wept when I saw this live, and I wept again when I watched it right now.
Have a beautiful Sunday, dear ones…

How the worst moments in our lives make us who we are
www.ted.com
Writer Andrew Solomon has spent his career telling stories of the hardships of others. Now he turns inward, bringing us into a childhood of adversity, while also spinning tales of the courageous people he's met in the years since.

My eldest son gave me your book about Alma for Christmas. It was a great adventure reading it! Thank you!
Grateful to be HERE, and not THERE…
Today I found this photo of me, from back in the day. It was during my really low times — marriage failing, confidence shaken, battling depression, head all confused. All I see is a very sad young woman, trying to hold it together.
I have no fear of getting older. (So far, getting older has been the best thing that ever happened to me.) But honest to God, if some evil genie told me I had to go back and live my 20's all over again, I think I would break down and weep. Then I would start bargaining. I would cut any kind of deal available, to avoid revisiting that time.
For anyone who's going through a painful moment in their life right now, I send you love. Take exceedingly care of yourself, be brave, and fight for the light. You'll make it to the other side, I promise.
And the other side is so, so, so much better.
Heart,
LG
