Hey Cass, what you have discovered, at this stage in your life, is something I have only really discovered at my age, which is considerably older than yours! I applaud your decision, both for you and for your son, because he will be blessed with a mom who's stoking her personal artistic jet engine. It will be SO GOOD for him to witness you modeling how to live in this world and find out what you love to do the very most. Stay the course.
Wait- have to wipe the tears away to type. This is so beautiful and so practical. It's the subtext beneath a thousand little choices that take us away from music, creativity, and joy. Thanks AGAIN for pulling the back the veil and showing us that we have choices and even community to support us in those. Especially slaying- "the rift" from choosing a non-traditional life style and the following mania to make it acceptable by over volunteering. You're the most adorable role model ever! -Karen

Beth, this is so kind. Thanks for your words of encouragement and for showing up for yourself at whatever state you’re at 💛
