This resonated deeply with me today — especially the parts about storytelling and passing on beliefs about bodies. Next on my morning reading list: that Elle piece!
Thank you, again, Melinda, for knowing / intuiting what's going on for parents (moms) right now. This has been bouncing around in my head since I read it on Tuesday. And it's not even just the touch itself. It's all the stimuli of this season of life and season of year. My brain is just on fire much of the day, and while I am not in that "ouch don't touch me" state, I am certainly feeling overwhelmed by it all and daydreaming of some kind of nap pod made of fluffy white hotel bedding where I can remain for like 24 hours.
Take care out there, everyone. I will heed my own advice, too.
