What else is there to say here? Oh, yeah. I love you, Jess Greenwood. You're a teacher, a "feeler" with a huge heart, and a writer with humanity emanating from every pore. Anyone who's a friend of yours is blessed, indeed. From surviving survival to thriving. Because yes, your friends had their experience, and so did your husband, but you survived survival right along with them. I love what you said about your husband looking toward you to determine the extent of his situation, and how your instinct to care came through as dark humor. I wrote about salt water facials today, too! I never heard that expression before. Love it. You're a champ, Jess. xo
Wow! Talk about a salt water facial. I think I might have had a few just reading this. Thank you for these kind words and for the acknowledgment that I have been on my own rollercoaster of surviving survival. I struggle with imposter syndrome there since it didn't happen TO me, but I'm not sure trauma gives a shit. Now I can't wait to read your post so I can just douse my face with salt! I'm going to look 20 when today is over!
The vulnerability and resilience of the human spirit is truly remarkable; the books Rising Above and Surviving Survival are testament to this. They give hope to us all and a sense of belonging that we are not alone. 💕

And you might look quite moist and dewy as well! xo
