You Have Always Needed Others

On Sunday, I hosted a workshop inspired by Consider This for Hello Sunshine's Shine Away Conference. The event was truly magical.

Consider This: my new book is coming out in just one week! Preorders make a big difference: they help libraries decide how many copies to order and ensure that bookstores can properly stock the book. I'd love it if you could support an independent bookstore by preordering. Here are some great shops I've partnered with in the past:

• Mahogany Bookstore, DC

• Semicolon Bookstore, Chicago, IL

• Source Bookseller, Detroit, MI

• 27th Letter Books, Detroit, MI

• The Bell House, Brooklyn, NY

• Virginia Highland Books, Atlanta, GA

• Bookmarks, Winston-Salem, NC

• Quail Ridge, Raleigh, NC

• Shelves Bookstore, Charlotte, NC

• Vroman’s, Los Angeles, CA

• Kindred Stories, Houston, TX

Also, Bookshop is an independent book retailer.

Your support means the world—thank you!

Consider This is available wherever you buy books, including Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and more.

Here is an excerpt from Consider This:

You have always needed others. You might get better at doing things alone when no one is available, but from the moment you were born, you looked to others for care.

If your needs weren’t honored in the past, expressing them to someone else may now feel uncomfortable. So if you’ve lost the courage to ask for what you need,

REMEMBER THIS:

• There are new people in your life who are different from the people in your old relationships.

• When you are healthier in your interactions, you meet people who can care for you in new ways.

Reclaim your voice, and ask for what you need.

Consider This will hit shelves on October 15, 2024, and is currently available for preorder.
