I saw my first big crush holding a Simon and Garfunkel CD and it opened a whole new world for me. That crush went nowhere, but it did convince me that music could tell me a whole lot about a person and I was later endeared to Chris after he mailed me the perfect mix CD. I take my playlists very seriously and made  this one just for you.  Today’s episode is brought to us by The Upper Room.

I used to hate ketchup but then one day I changed my mind and there’s a scientific explanation. Do you know what there’s no explanation for? The fact that I once broke a world record and forgot about it (don’t let anyone tell you that mom brain isn’t real).  Today’s episode is brought to us by The Upper Room.

Nineteen years ago my friend Kati told us that one day our children would ask us where we were on September 11, 2001, and she was right. We shared the full story with our kids at the dinner table tonight and now I share that with you (including how I empathize with Toby Keith? TELL NO ONE).  Also: you are the best people on the internet. My heart is so full with you in my life. Thank you for carrying my mat this week.

We talk about friendship a lot here on TBTW, but I don’t know if we’ve ever talked about what to do if a friendship has run its course, if a friendship is unbalanced, or if a historical friendship can sustain currency differences.

Introducing a new segment: Conversations to Level Up Your Friendships. First prompt? Ask your friend if she knows her magic. “The magic” is one small, seemingly lucky thing that seems to happen to you over and over again by no doing of your own. To follow-up, ask what her anti-magic is. What is one small thing that is unlucky that seems to happen to you more often than the average person? Mine is the worst! Our #TBTWChallenge this week is to do a closet audit. Our Good Time / Good Deal is to check out your local library to see if you have access to Hoopla, Kanopy, Creative Bug, and Lynda / LinkedIn Learning.  Today’s sponsor spotlight is ABLE, an ethical fashion brand that employs and empowers women as a solution to end poverty.
