Well, shoot. You were here in Pittsburgh and I didn't know. Sorry to have missed you. OTOH, staying at home in my jammies in this climate (meterologically and otherwise) felt pretty good, too.
My husband and I have had that very conversation! So far, we haven't divulged our mantras to each other. A promise is a promise, but it would be hilarious if everyone got the same one!
looking forward to seeing you at the event tomorrow night - so lovely to have some of the old State crew representing. very much enjoying your incredibly relatable pieces.
Thank you for your “small” writing, and thank you for your stillness. I’ve been spending an awful lot of time under the duvet these past weeks; depression isn’t helping. But—your writing does. So, thank you for your quietude.
Expect to find your stillness mantra in the mail shortly. It is from a strange stranger, but one who appreciates you and finds your words and ideas "strangely" comforting. Thank you for sharing with us, Michael.
Can we have a contest here to give you a personal mantra?
To scrub the thought of Russell Brand from everyone's mind, please know that Bill Hader practiced TM for anxiety and imposter syndrome in his earlier days on SNL Give him a call.
The last paragraph gave me goosebumps. We really don’t have to be loud and obedient to the unwritten rules of society to be worthy and to do good for ourselves and others.
Also, it’s wonderful to see that other people find Russell Brand off-putting. He’s just icky, and I mean that in the most nonjudgmental way possible.
Is there a problem? If not, just follow your gut. Just because other people are uncomfortable with you staying under the covers doesn't mean that you are or should be.

You're not allowed to share your personalized mantra so how do you know it's not the same one given to others?

Maybe try some prunes.
Even when you’re not trying (I assume) to be funny, you are! And you looked very handsome in the photo.

I think I enjoy reading your stuff because it makes me feel better, more normal I guess. So please keep it up.
YOU'RE NORMAL! (I don't know if you're normal)
Like I said, “feel” normal.
