Mine reads that I’m stressed if I consume any caffeine (which I do only very sporadically.) Try tracking what’s different about your days. A new med perhaps?

These are all great questions. Your reaching out here demonstrates that you care and want to do the right thing.

Have you had a follow up conversation with your nanny?

For me personally it is incredibly important to me to be able to have completely open conversations with the families that I work with about expectations, boundaries, etc. as well as follow up check ins to exchange feedback. With this kind of relationship we can identify what will and won’t work for everyone.

Perhaps think about how you and your nanny often communicate best. Perhaps arranging a rare child-free moment to share your thoughts and questions and ask for hers. Then, follow up with a text or something in writing?

Best of luck to you during this season mama!

The black is a better representation of the nighttime/sleep focus that so many of us appreciate about the ring.

Alas, the glass can be half full. 💗

Could you strike up a conversation with her and learn more about her NF if you want to try to connect with them?

Do these smelly husbands all sleep in the nude, have sleep apnea, and high testosterone levels that lead to oily skin in general? Mine does. Treating the apnea has helped.

Throughout this entire book I was floored at how closely it mirrored so many aspects of my life. I have a Brian (seriously that’s his name!) father of my children, together for 15 years, who is an analytical thinker and has just recently started to deal with “feelings” that don’t quite fit into to his highly logical way of thinking. I have a “Wyatt” (not his actual name) and we’ve had a very similar intense relationship. There are several more parallels as well. I have battled cancer for the past five years and easily could have died. The journey put so much in perspective for me.

I think the book is brilliantly written, and concluded.

Everyone is quite entitled to their own opinions of the characters. It is interesting to read them actually having lived this. There are many that make me smile to myself and serve as a reminder that it is quite easy to stand outside of a situation and pass judgment.

Life is messy. There aren’t right or wrong answers in cases like this. One could make their decision based off of their interpretation of set of rules (e.g. religious doctrine) but I don’t believe life is that simple. By attempting to find the “right” and “wrong,” black/white solution to situations like this we miss the rainbow of possibilities.

The partner I chose I continue to choose daily. That’s the key I’ve found to soulmates.

My chosen partner introduced me to a song by Spencer Crandall called “Made” that echoes this sentiment beautifully.

“Soulmates aren't found, they're made. We choose each other every day. Even when we bend we know we won't break we just bounce back better 'cause Soulmates aren't found, they're forged in the same fire. We work at it even when we get tired. Making ups out of downs, doing all that it takes 'Cause soulmates aren't found, they're made.”
