Duke Divinity School professor Kate Bowler wrote a book called “Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved.” Worth it for the title alone. I’m so happy for you and Waffle. You’re already creating good out of your career shift. ✊🏻
Very happy for all of you! Waiting for cancer follow up appointments even after you’ve been cleared is always nerve wracking. Glad you got good news. Definitely agree that it’s impossible to focus on the present moment when it’s your baby’s life at stake.
Sometimes you have to make the silver lining out of the crap that happens in life. That's how we get through it. So so glad to hear Miss Waffy is all good. You guys rock.💜
Your words in this essay allowed me to visualize how happy you must have been lying on the floor with Waffle, sharing the wonderful news. I’m so happy for you both! Go get on that mountain, girls!
Kate, I love reading your posts. I'm not a big comment writer, but I read them every time and am thankful for your honesty, strength and great writing. Lots of love, Marianne
This: "Things don’t happen for a reason, Bubba. But if we’re really lucky, we get to make a reason — we get to write its truth into our daily lives and live it into existence".... is everything truly everything.
This honestly was a balm on a day where my heart is very raw
Love the way you love each other and have each others backs! Laughing because as an adult I know I have anxiety. As a kid, I didn’t know. Just thought throwing up when nervous was normal, or constantly having diarrhea was normal. So, you learn something new every day. Can’t wait for the next one! Yea! For Waffle!!
I love this quote: “Things don’t happen for a reason, Bubba. But if we’re really lucky, we get to make a reason — we get to write its truth into our daily lives and live it into existence..” Writing a truth into existence-YES! just one more chapter to what I know is going to be a fantastic book some day! 😍💕
Thank you!! and yes we do. I couldn't be more grateful.
Love the message here and love that Waffle got a clean bill of health even more!!! 💜
Thank you!! truly the best news!
