By the lovely Grace Farris.
P.S. More pep talks and a reminder for parents.
Grace always brightens my day, makes me smile, & makes me feel seen! Love her & her work so much!
Why such a rough two weeks?? Is there something happening astrologically or something haha? I am in the middle of it, soon to be ‘over’ it, God Willing. In all, I am grateful though. This will pass. Thanks for the cheering up! It is much appreciated.
trying to say the compliments instead of just thinking them-what good does that do?
Grace,
You make Fridays even better!
When my twins were little, a very special outing for me was grocery shopping – alone – late on a Sunday night after all kids were sleeping. Those poor teenaged cashiers and baggers! I was STARVED for adult interaction and the checkout experience kept me socially afloat! I hadn’t thought of that in years because wow, how things change, but that’s such a vivid and funny memory. Thanks for that.
You’re particular favorites of mine in this cosmic sneeze, all; grander specks I can’t imagine.

And scene!
I recently said something clever and insightful and because I talk about podcasts so much I had to clarify that “I came up with that on my own, that’s not from a podcast.” I was so proud!
In an attempt to distract from an anxious/stressful moment, I pulled up your blog. And there you are cheering me on! And now I’m crying. Yes, is rough for so many people. But thankfully this blog got us watching Abbott Elementary, and now I am printing Grace’s art for our fridge. So grateful.
Needed this today. Thanks Grace.
Thank you for the affirmations. I feel like I have been needing to hear “you are so warm and chatty” lately as I have been feeling very self-conscious about talking too much (some feedback I have received from some of the people I spend the most time with). I have been on a journey of self-discovery thinking about this. Sometimes an internet stranger says just the thing you need to hear (to an audience of many many thousands, but it lands).
Meghan! Here to affirm warmth and chatty-ness. You sound like just the kind of friend I search for!
I’m a quiet person by nature, so chatty people are my very favourite! It takes the pressure off of me to think of things to talk about and I enjoy mostly just listening. Chat on, Meghan!
I have been told the same,especially since the pandemic. I believe that it’s an asset and a gift. Hope your day is great .
YOU ARE 😭 Thank you for this!
Yes to ‘me-time’ at the grocery store! Such a treat!
It’s also a great “date night” for my husband and me now that the kids are old enough to stay home without a sitter. We’ve been known to really live it up at the local co-op on a Saturday night haha.
I’ve got this one down! I wish I were good at recapping interesting articles and podcasts, though :)
The podcast recap! In my house we call this “Planet Honey,” because it’s telling your honey about Planet Money. Ha!
Love it.
