I've been thinking a lot about you lately, my Bloom. readers.
We're women in this exact chapter, figuring it out at the same time, together. Some of you write back, and I read every single one, replies to opening notes, to articles that spoke to you, moved you, gave you permission. I want more of that for each of us. More than anything else.

TODAY’S PICKS
THE FEATURE
A Garden Full Of Mistakes.
In the garden, she found the one place for her where perfect was never required.
THE REFLECTION
The Conversations You Only Have Once You're Comfortable.
A full week with family, nowhere else to be. It's never the first day that gets real. It's once everyone stops performing and settles in.
While I Have You.
I'm on Instagram! If you want to follow along, I'm at @bloom.bytrish. No pressure, just come say hi.
THE WILDCARD
The Train With No Tracks.
There's a train in Germany with no tracks, just cars gliding above the rooftops. The best way to see the whole city at once. It's carried royalty and commuters for over a hundred years, and once picked up one very unexpected passenger.
If you know someone who'd love this, send it to them.
That's the whole ask.
There's something in it for you too.
Details below.
My answer:
My garden! I have no idea what I'm doing out there, but I keep trying.
