I just turned 38, and the people in my life threw me the most beautiful party. I walked into that room and felt something I haven't always known how to receive: completely loved and celebrated. And sitting with that feeling, I realized I was standing inside something I had spent years learning to build. This week I'm taking you into that room — and then back through the journey that made it possible. We're talking about the Grove, one of the elements in my new book The Art of Being Rooted, the Lone Ranger Lie that keeps so many of us isolated, and what it actually looked like for me to go from doing life alone to being held by real community. If you want community but feel alone right now, this one is for you. I'm going to leave you with one small step, not a to-do list — and an invitation.
