Happy birthday!!! And I too read aloud text that is *not* in the books so I’ll be joining you in that existential crisis! 😬

Thank you!! It was such a fun celebration this year. But yes! Am I editing because I don’t want to talk about the messages I don’t agree with? Or is it fine to just wiggle things a bit to align more with your thinking? Sometimes it’s a matter of a dated book and living in a time that *thankfully* does better. But sometimes it is contemporary and I simply don’t want to get into it. 😂

Soon enough my littles will be reading and I won’t be able to edit, so I guess I’ll do it while I can!

I think editing is a bit like turning off the news on the telly. The bad things are still there, but why not protect them while you can?

Also, happy birthday. I love your sparkly dress.

So much sparkle for your 40th and I am so happy you really leaned into celebrating YOU this year! Part of my gift was seeing you shine (literally and figuratively) this year. And I have always loved sharing a birthday with you! That is always a special gift in itself.
