Well, I don’t think it is in brick-and-mortar stores in Canada, but I think you can have it delivered to CA whether through Bookshop or Amazon or the publisher’s website—but, I am not 100% sure. If not, I can maybe help somehow.
"Just feel it all, feel every last damn thing. You’ll write when you write. You’ve always written. You can’t help but write." - makes me tear up every time. Wishing your family so much love and strength during this next step ❤️
“You see that beaver. You see it all, tucked under the macrame plant hanger. Just take a breath and write it down.”
You don't technically say this - but this is what I read: For fuck sake - just write! There was something about seeing the F word on your post. Thank you. I needed to read this today. 💛
And June! So many feelings. Wishing Billie and Z strength and courage as they continue this brave and challenging road.
Emily, we've felt your love all this time, and are unendingly grateful, truly. You should know how much it's meant. It's not a small thing. It's everything.
Jeneane--YAY!! I have missed writing with you WITD-style in real time and am looking forward to this so much. It will be really, well, intense! We'll cover a lot and write a lot too in 3 hours, and you'll leave with more you can do after. Super excited to see you so soon!
I am untethered when left on my own. I need you and teachers like you to hold me to intensity. I learn so much and am so profoundly grateful. I’m so excited to be a part of the “in person community” and see and hear in real time.
And thrilled, also for this deep breath for Z and Billie Oh and your family. What news.
Thank you, Jeannine for your unending kindness. It means so much. ❤️
Thank you so much Katrina Anne! This really means something. It's been a very long day, I'm really only finally getting online after an all-day in-person symposium, and it just feels really good to read messages like this. Thank you!
So much of life "though beautiful, is neither simple nor “just one thing.”" Aren't our deepest joys always complex, which means always laced with grief of one kind or another? I am so glad for your family that one kind of uncertainty is coming to a close, and sending wishes for joy of all kinds (homemade ice cream!) in the days and months to come. I'm glad you shared this again, as I didn't see it the first time around.
Oh, than you for this, Rita. It's exactly the case--your writing gets at this deeper truth so sharply, it's amazing. Thank you for it all, the witnessing and the knowing.
Loved reading this so much, as I write through the tears of my own grief. I don't know any other way to be, but to write through it.
Oh, a June date! ❤️ I love this list so much too.
Will this book be released in 🇨🇦

And, I should add, thank you for being interested in my work, Leah!

So happy Z’s adoption date is being set for June! Oh the complexity of love. It’s the smell of shampoo under wood smoke. Exactly what you do here.
Thank you so so so so so much Monika. Z is pretty radiant right now. He has a sense of things. Thank you for holding our family. xoxoxo

Ha, yes, I can use the ol' F bomb with the best of them! Spicy! xoxoxo
June, oh June! My heart is overflowing, eyes brimming. Heart do damn full. Gorgeous again.💜💜💜💜

Such beautiful news about Z’s pending adoption date!!! My heart is over the moon for Billie and your family!
Thank you for revealing your heart(as you constantly do) by sharing How to Write Through The Hurt. So real and tender ❤️
Just signed up for June 27 and looking forward 😊
OH YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! Lisa, I can't wait to write with you! Yay! And thank you for witnessing our family's long journey. We are very grateful.
What a way to write through hurt. I love it so much.
I just registered. I’m so excited!

I want to memorize every word of your "How to Write Through The Hurt" list. It's so achingly beautiful. Thank you. <3
