Today is the official release of To Lose the Madness: Field Notes on Trauma, Loss and Radical Authenticity. It is hard to describe what the release of this book means. There have certainly been moments since sending the book to print where I flinched at sharing so much of myself; however, since giving my TEDx Talk, so many readers have reached out to offer support and thanks. Now the day is finally here and I find myself feeling a calm gratitude.
I spent the launch of To Lose the Madness on the road in Texas’ Hill Country. When I first realized that I wouldn’t be in my home state of Connecticut for the launch I thought it was a huge oversight on my part, but now I realize that being out West is exactly where I needed to be today.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed their support for this little book.
Much Graittude
