Beautifully written. I love the reminder that an invitation alone is not sufficient, but rather the feeling of belonging is what’s important. We need more Carla’s in this world!

Such high praise from you.

And I swear this is the reason why I’m not sad or worried about aging because I didn’t get any of this in my 30s. I didn’t understand yet that mattering and belonging – – that’s the important stuff.

Believe it or not, my copy of WYCWYC showed up last night as I'm going through things as I get ready to move. I love your writing, always have. BTW, since you are talking about mothering consistently, my daughter and her new husband are buying a two family home, and I am their upstairs tenant. What do you know? Thanks for validating me always
