Oh you. Your heart is so true. I’ve thought that since I first read your work in OnBeing. I am one of your 71 year old Midwestern matriarchs and yet can relate to your younger sensibilities. Just, thank you. So much. 💕
Courtney's eloquence and stirring narrative provide deep inspiration. They recall my own family adventures at the New Jersey beaches of Sandy Hook and Manasquan. I really like the descriptive phrase of "emotionally ripened grandfathers", as a role that I'd like to fill with my relatives. A book that I've just finished by Evan Osnos entitled "Wildland. The Making of America's Fury" (2021), offers another perspective on life in the U.S., decidedly grim, dire and desperate. Yet. it's written in a brilliant, compelling style like Courtney's (Osnos is a staff writer for the New Yorker).
Comparing these two gifted journalists, we see a sharp contrast in the messages brought, one based on massive data about the terrible anger that now consumes our country; and Courtney's "The Examined Family" that consistently gives wonderfully concrete reasons for hope and encouragement at many levels.
I mean, can you blame the two year old for eating the scented erasers?! They followed their bliss
Hahaha! Not really.
The brows. The thick dark brows for days. Wish I could have been there.

Thank you, Courtney! DD
Now that's something. I would wilt in the face of a 3/4 ton pickup. But hopefully you'd be nearby to jump in and get us where we needed to go.
Oh dang, I'm sorry on behalf of the diaspora of Nebraska rooted women. Haha! At least we don't make unnecessary small talk?!
