Congratulations! I love the title.

I was literally thinking this morning, watching my three year old put her underwear on backward for the umpteenth time while gazing around the room instead of at said underwear, that so much of growing up is just learning how to pay attention -- at first those little things, then increasingly at our inner depths and the sufferings, joys, and beauties of the world around us. I will eagerly look forward to reading your book as a guid to my own growing up in attention!

Thank you so much, Nathan! That is hilarious, and so relatable! Kids are so good at noticing the things we miss, even if it does mean it takes longer to get dressed, ha!

I’m so excited about this book! Paying attention is something that is very important to me, and my husband doesn’t quite understand, so hopefully it will help bridge that gap of understanding.

And WISTERIA!!!! I miss living in Northern Virginia, because there was always so much wisteria along the highways! We’re in Colorado now, and I’m wishin’ and hoping’ that I spot some around here soon!
