I feel like this is the balm I need. I am a home economics teacher in a rural area with a slowly increasing minority population and I am hearing kids increasingly emboldened to say discriminatory things about race, gender and sexuality. I don’t know how to help.

Oh, that sounds really hard and heavy. I'm so glad you are there, though it must be exhausting.

I can relate, beautiful Shannon! I am always searching for my grandson’s dog, Pluto (1 1/3 year old beagle mix) when I visit my daughter in western NY. Pluto likes to roam the farm where they live/play/wonder/ponder. Pluto makes life fun for all! At times it is hard for me to remember how long he has been out of the house and if it’s time to make sure he is safe. I am always relieved when Pluto comes racing back to the porch!

I know that feeling of relief well! And it sounds like the two dogs are really similar. Ours is a 2 year old beagle/lab mix!

I just became a mom to three with the birth of our daughter and ooo boy. I am rarely on my phone right now because I feel like I have to focus so much to keep track of everyone and everything. But, probably not a bad thing in general.

I've preordered your book. Really looking forward to reading it!! Congrats on the contract. :)

Congrats, Shannon! I'm not doing nothing, but want to do more, so the book sounds worthwhile. I don't know if you read Plough, but thought you'd be interested in this article: https://www.plough.com/en/topics/life/parenting/writing-at-burger-king

That was exactly the question on my mind after the dog story. Thanks for not leaving us hanging!

Congratulations on your new book contracts! Yay!

I have also lost a dog in a car overnight, so I feel your pain.

Doing Nothing is No Longer an Option looks really great too.
