On being selfish: I recently heard something along the lines of, it's ok to be self-centered, if we're not going to center ourselves, who will? And what people often label as "selfish" is really that important and necessary centering of ourselves, where selfishness is more like only paying attention to our own needs and not caring if it hurts anyone else. It was an eye-opening difference to me!
Favorite line in series of many delicious lines: Cortisol? Isn’t that what they put in cough syrup?
Lara, until now I did not understand the depth of the tree trigger and trauma. Totally see that now. ACES run a marathon in our lives. Right there on the track with you.

Thank you so much for reading, and for that insight! Makes so much sense. I'm slowly learning to center myself.

Loved this piece. Shared with a friend. And I can't wait to hear more (of everything).
Thank you so, so much!!!
You're such a good writer. I have been taking my laptop to bed at night to finish all of your stories. I can't get enough. Pledging now!
And F'ing trees. I have a love/hate relationship with those majestic monsters. Buying Vivais immediately. Rothys didn't work for me!
Oh Nicole thank you so much. I can't tell you what that means to me <3
