I thought Id written earlier but appears I am substack-inept, ha:
I love Leila's writings! Schemed so many times back in the day -- especially whenever I would have like seventy-four tabs open to her various posts -- to somehow print out her entire blog, but these books are even better! More stuff, combined nicely, beautifully done. I bought copies for friends even!
(On that note, do you think it would be an unwelcome wedding gift to a young Catholic couple of which the future wife is planning to work and such while the future husband is planning to stay home with any kids? The idea was any newlywed couple would do well to have all her wisdom, but their plan is different than she would advocate I think and I am not trying to come off as disapproving, even if I *am* doubtful. Not my place, I don’t think.)

Yes! Hello fellow Leila stalker 😂 I’m honestly not sure about the gift. I mean, people gave me all kinds of odd things when I married and some of them proved really useful many years later. I did buy a set for a bridal shower but I know she will use it
I love your writings.
This feels refreshing. I’m not being bombarded with a million thoughts at once. It’s like an internet cozy coffee shop.
This is restorative. Wow.
I might leave Instagram for good.
That’s how I feel! Refreshed. Unboxed. And freed from the almighty algorithm.
