i want to be the kind of woman who wears sunscreen, but i do not like it or most lotions. i've disciplined myself to lather up after my shower, but sunscreen is another level.
i've been sick with covid all week, and while i had many books at my disposal and read some, i'm not sure i could settle myself enough to read all day for a vacation.
our mutual friend Karen and i discussed how we met online and took our relationship offline. she said you remember meeting me IRL. where? was it in ATL? i faintly recall Becca S was there...maybe?
Hello! Yes! It's Native brand (found in Target) Brightening Facial Moisturizer with zinc oxide sunscreen. (SPF 30) It's a white bottle with orange lettering and a big 3 on the bottle. I'm not sure if it's the zinc oxide or what? But my skin has been much happier with it this summer!
Morning Shannan. Morning Indiana. Been waving through the upside down as my son's moved on from Pawnee to Hawkins.
Yes to all you've said, even though it's confusing and heartbreaking. Being a neighbour in North Prospect is tough right now. One of our neighbours has a chaotic life. The line between care, concern for the wider community, and just not wanting to be woken up by motorbikes at 2am is blurred.
Meanwhile, there's a family of crickets moved into our garden. I've spent the summer trying to weave the stories of our local cricket club with kindness. A is taking extra cleaning shifts so she can keep offering free counselling. And England is hurtling off a cliff.
This: "The line between care, concern for the wider community, and just not wanting to be woken up by motorbikes at 2am is blurred." is the truest, most relatable statement I've ever known.
How do you feel about considering yourself my chosen brother, moving forward?? Feels right.
Sending sane wishes to England. (I thought it was just us?????)
Absolutely. As a family, we're with you. It's so encouraging being connected to a family who made the same kind of choices we did. It makes us feel a lot less lonely in the world. Motion seconded and passed. We're family.
I love you & appreciate joining you at your kitchen table.
Thank you for telling me you love me! I'm forever saying I love you all because it's TRUE!
There is only “and.” 😭
Also reading A Curious Faith and starting to wonder if I can only read about curious faith now? I’m a one-genre reader.
I feel this. I've been reading a chapter most mornings (yay for short chapters!) and I'm loving it.

Yes! At some kind of conference in ATL back in the day. I was with Becca and Lori! I got to sit by you in a session...maybe Jen Hatmaker's??
I'm sorry about the COVID. :( Ruby is home with it this week. (sigh)
I am so impressed with your new French pedicure invention...I will try it, for sure!
HA!! It's still going strong. I really feel like I need to see it through at this point.
Yes, plez, would love all the thoughts on Roe/SCOTUS. I appreciate you!
Back atcha!!
Yes! YES PLEASE! As your time permits will you please write about the SCOTUS/Roe verdict? Please! xx
What’s the name of the non greasy sunscreen?
Hello! Yes! It's Native brand (found in Target) Brightening Facial Moisturizer with zinc oxide sunscreen. (SPF 30) It's a white bottle with orange lettering and a big 3 on the bottle. I'm not sure if it's the zinc oxide or what? But my skin has been much happier with it this summer!
I'm curious to know that, too. I've lost all faith in any creams that promise non-shiny skin.
See above!
