Tess, how wonderful! I'm also somewhat new to your work, but I came across your page when I started to write here on Substack a couple months ago. You were instantly a favorite, so much so that (and I hope I'm not overstepping here!) I have a line from one of your poems tattooed on my arm! I would love to share a photo of it at some point, as it summed up so beautifully how I feel about being a part of my children's childhood. So, I share you everywhere, at least to whomever is curious about what is written on my arm, and you so deserve this accolade of a bestseller!

New to your work but appreciate your willingness to set down old work and shift gears. It’s scary to do so. Beautiful read.

Really inspiring to hear! I’ve slowly been learning the way of sabbath and it has produced my favorite words. I hope the journey continues to be at the same time restful and adventurous.

Hi Tim!!!!! So great to hear from you and learn of that you are fostering and leaning into a rhythm that is of the sabbath. Slow and thoughtful.

I’m so glad this piece was an encouragement to you. It’s been a daily discipline to redirect fast producing mode and in lean into the slower beat, trusting I am provided for.

Much love to you and your journey too 🕊
