I recently removed the Substack app from my phone because even though I love reading, I don't want to read on my phone at all anymore. A few friends and I talked about this at the park yesterday. We all agreed the GPS is a must but did we really need much else? Now I read my Substack stories on my laptop from the comfort of my couch, and remember to bring a real book or two in my bag. Best of both worlds for me.
I took my son and my mom to see two aunts and a baby today. We were there for four hours and the only time a phone was pulled out, it was to see when the baby's parent was coming home. That felt really good.
Your substack has quickly become my favorite. I learn so much and am also reminded of so many things I already know in my heart but haven’t committed to my brain yet. Thank you for your work and your words.
Just finished your book — loved it! Reading this, and having just seen my daughters perform in a musical and hating filming the song while also watching it (bc I knew they’d want to see the video), it occurs to me that something that might work for me is asking another parent to film something my kid is in that their kid isn’t in and swap. Get the video and be present.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing. And I'm so happy you enjoyed reading my book.
Exactly
I couldn't agree with this more!! I'm glad I'm not the only one!
