This is lovely. Your posts, your poetry, your books, and your playlists have meant so much to me over the last few months as I have been navigating the end of my 30-year marriage and the start of a new life. Thank you.

What a gift to see this moment from the end of YCMTPB. Holding onto your words: So much is still possible. Thank you.

Maggie— I just found your work, just finished your memoir. Grateful to see in its pages my own rawness of motherhood, heartache, and the galactic struggle all women still face in answering to our professional/purposeful selves beyond home, partners and babies. Thank you so much for being brave.

Right 🙌🏻 “You could make this place beautiful.”

Maggie, you make beauty through your memoir, your poems, your mothering, your teaching. When I first heard you on Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do Hard Things podcast, I immediately treated myself to your book... then your audio book... then your e-book. I’ve never bought all three before but I needed to carry your voice, your words, your tell-mine-in-your-own-FORM with me everywhere, always. I’ve been reading and re-reading, listening and re-listening, letting your writing sink in. Thank you for your courageous creative *work* (not “work”, air quotes) and for letting us peek behind the curtains with these posts about your process. I’m grateful to have found a kindred spirit writer and teacher in you. Thanks again!
