“At the heart of the in-between, exists a timeless and infinite potential. From this place, all of who we are is created.” — Pete Beebe, Dream Fisher: A Metaphysical Work of Contemporary Fiction
Great read, it feels like the space where nothing has to be decided yet. It honors pause without turning it into pressure or productivity. It makes the in-between feel like a place of truth, not waiting.
Your timing is spot on, I needed every word of this essay today. Great writing (as usual) but also thank you for being a light. Happy happy new year to you! 💕
Love this so much, Christine. I think stillness might just be the ultimate luxury, and aging the greatest privilege. So many delicious nuggets here- moving from performance to intention (in style and in all things), comfort, pleasure and clarity as touchstones- so much yes to all!

Amen! And I would venture to say that this does not have to happen only at that seasonal pause. It could happen between ages — and stages — of life.

Thank you, Marnie — knowing it resonated makes it worthwhile. Wishing you the most wonderful new year xx
Love all of this Christine. Thank you for the love, friendship and kindness you bring to this beautiful midlife table.
The quote from Harry Burns will always and forever be my favorite!
Ditto! I had no idea, until recently, that Billy Crystal improvised that entire last scene. Brilliant.
Soaking this in
Thank you so much, Kaitlyn. xx
