Send us Fan Mail"I am going to warn you in advance that it has been a rough few days and I am not feeling like my best birthday girl self." This was the message I sent to my friend who is coming to visit to celebrate my birthday.Nothing is wrong and yet everything feels wrong. I think a lot of you can relate to some of the heaviness I'm carrying, but it all comes back to roles - the roles we play because we've chosen them, or more often, they've chosen us.We don't necessarily want out of them - in fact, often, we like them - but maybe just a little less?? Maybe for a day? Or perfume is fine too, I guess.Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.
