Dear ones, 

Short note today: It’s officially my spring break and I’m really trying to use this week to tend to my health and get back to work on my next book. P’s Christmas present to me was a three-day writing retreat devoted to my manuscript, so we’ll be at a sweet little cabin for a few days; thankfully he’s on the mend from the last chemo cycle. A change of scenery and responsibilities will be a relief after many weeks of stress and illness. 

Lots more to say and share, but I’ll pause here for now. Lists, links, and recs below. <3 

love & solidarity,

raechel
