Small, true things people have written to us.

“I read one permission every morning while the kettle boils. It sounds small. It has changed the shape of my day.”

“After my mother died, this was the only book I could open. It didn’t try to fix me. It sat with me.”

“I gave the deck to my sister on her birthday. She called me crying, in the good way.”

“I have permission to begin things at sixty-one. I did not know I needed to be told.”

“I keep one card in my wallet: you are allowed to change your mind. I read it before I speak.”

“The Rest Hoodie is my Sunday uniform. My nervous system knows what it means when I put it on.”
