Love this post, Erin, and your new evergreen walls! And the striked-out words! When my one-and-only child went off to college on one coast, I moved to the other coast, and was really happy to eat standing up in my own kitchen with nobody else to worry about for a change. Thanks for the shout out about Side by Side: The Sacred Art of Couples Aging with Wisdom & Love -- it's a great book about marriages no matter what your age or length of marriage.

Congrats on publishing such a rich marital resource, Shelly! And I aspire to eat salami and popcorn standing up in my kitchen one day soon. ;)

I love this post and it had me nodding along, YES....YES.....YES. The cycles we go through in relinquishing and loving; when parenting our kids and ourselves, over and over again. Wow. This landed. Thanks, Erin.

Cycles is such a good word for it. YES...YES...YES...to the cycles of love and liberation.
