The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson
The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson is a profound reminder that love doesn't end… it continues to move toward us, like light finding its way through. The connections we form here are not temporary; they are woven into something far more enduring than we can see. This is a book that touched something deep in me, and left me sitting with a beautiful question: if the love and the bonds we share truly transcend this life, how then shall we live? The answer, I think, is with more intention, more tenderness, and a little less fear… reaching toward one another while we can, and trusting that the reaching never really stops.
Theo of Golden: A Novel by Allen Levi
Theo of Golden reminded me of the power of story to help us see ourselves, and one another, more fully. This story invited me beneath the surface of everyday moments to the deeper truths that connect us: presence, belonging, and the ways healing unfolds when we slow down and truly see.
I am experiencing this book as an invitation to listen more closely, live more compassionately, and recognize the quiet courage carried within us all.

Pondering
This quote came from Tim Ferriss’ weekly email. This place of trying too hard and needing to learn to do everything lightly resonated with me to my bones… Can you relate to this?
“It’s dark because you’re trying too hard.’ ‘Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. “Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.” I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. … So throw away all your baggage and go forward.... you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.”
- Aldous Huxley, Island, 1962
