I have a project for you. Let‘s have lunch one of these days and I’ll tell you about it. I‘m considering calling it “seasonal“

Beautiful and deeply comforting to read. Thank you, Lola! I hope the malaise (I'm feeling it too) gives way to new mysteries soon...

I love everything you write, Lola. I'm sorry about the professional malaise. They never stop coming and are always a surprise-- at least for me--and I think are just a recurring part of the landscape for people who haven't chosen a more predictable career. I know you'll work out something amazing--not that the path there is easy. You have such enormous gifts.

That's so kind! It makes sense that these feelings would come in cycles. It felt nice to share about it. I appreciate the votes of confidence. Sending you affection, Kristin!

Nothing quite like a road trip with your mom! Here's to big jars of soybeans and creative uses of T1-11 siding.

I loved this so much, *and* i'm in EXACTLY the same professional malaise for nearly EXACTLY the reasons you describe (minus basketball 😜)
