Thank you so much for these beautiful words! I often feel like I am stuck in the lost place, like I will never be able to emerge from it - but reading this has given me hope that maybe some of the lost things can return, and acceptance for the fact that some lost things are never meant to return, but instead make space for something new.
I definitely in a place where I'm floundering and feel lost, so I completely resonate. There's a song called Minute by Minute that talks about not having the answers and letting "I don't know" be enough. While I'm sad about what has been lost, I'm excited for what's new.
It is so achingly uncanny how you speak exactly what I need to hear when I need to hear it. This exact experience has been creeping into my life this week and to have you express this in such beautiful prose is just such a gift. Thank you always for articulating the seemingly inarticulable with such clarity + warmth. You are helping me along my own journey of new motherhood + otherwise in such profound ways. Thank you. Thank you. ❤️
But did she go to bed?! I have an 8mo and the possibility of such distinction between her life and mine seems too far away to imagine. And yet here you are just a few months ahead, finding lost things return. Thank you💚
I often feel lost. For a long time I could only perceive the cruelty of it, as if It was nothing but punishment by some unknowable force. But then I realized that I was responsible for the continuous “losing” of myself. “Getting lost” was my nature, an ingenious strategy to promote change through challenge.
You’ve put to words so beautifully what I’ve recently come to cherish about myself, one of the missing pieces of perceiving the totality of me. My greatest strength, maybe all of our greatest strength, is that no matter how fragmented we become, we put ourselves back together--we expand by examining the new form.
Thank you for this week’s letter. I’m happy you and your husband were able to enjoy a precious evening together.
I want this phrase to be true with ounce of my fiber of being right now, "what is lost can return again" but it is harder and harder to believe it might be. Perhaps it comes down to perspective of understanding how we receive the return of the lost item?
Thank you! I’ve let go of a lot the past two years and in many ways I’m still in the in between. I catch flickers of hope and trust that it is getting close. This liminal space is so empty but at the same time so full. Your words add to my hope. ❤️
Thank you, Lisa for your honesty. I have been feeling a sense of loss lately. A loss of joy outside of my partnership. Reading your words today has helped me to welcome in the return of my joy when it is ready. Much love to you and so grateful for your words! ❤️❤️
Sipping my lukewarm coffee and thinking of all the people I used to be, all the mornings I used to have. Wondering which pieces will return and being okay with not having them back.
This was so beautiful and timely.
Also your date photos are adorable. Yes for date night.
The honesty of your words always seems to pierce through me. I've been wandering down a wild path for the last two years and trying to find a way that leads to somewhere concrete only to come back to what I've always known - creativity. Some things will always return. Others are just mere pitstops. Thank you for your words!

Thank again Lisa- whether it’s divine timing or maybe the sign of deep interconnectedness, your Sunday letters always feel so relatable and on time .
