this is:
a book
some stickers
& a whole vibe!
Someone needs to talk about this stuff.
It is completely unacceptable that no one talks about this stuff.
The stuff no one talks about is all I want to talk about.
The stories we tell ourselves have a profound impact on our daily lives.

AUTHOR BIO:
Sarah Dulany-Gring (SDG) is the author of Naked. She loves coffee, the ocean, and daffodils. She hates mosquitos, humidity, and olives. She lives in Central New York with her two fairly large mini-humans in a tiny house.
What the heck is “Fauved,” and how do I pronounce it?
“This book felt like sitting down with a friend over coffee and getting real.”
The book does not have pictures, but if it DID— these would be them!

The earthly god of bravery! My dad was sustained, not by oxygen, but by adrenaline.
-
![Teenage girl and boy look at us with straight-faced expressions, a backdrop of greenery behind them.]()
Best mini-humans ever.

![Jovial woman with curly, blonde hair laughing.]()
The auntie with the big, beautiful glitter-glass laugh! Can you hear it?
-
![Digital illustration of Greek goddess Persephone, depicted with brown, curly hair and wearing a long, flowing white gown.]()
I joke-not-joke that I am a “sometimes Persephone.”

![Black and white side view photograph of a woman wrapped in a blanket, staring out windows.]()
I hustled hard for 20 years then hit the incredibly high wall of burnout. 1/5 stars, do not recommend.
-
![Tall, towering stack of books in various sizes and thicknesses, a measuring tape running down one side of the tower.]()
The act of journaling took the big ball of brain-yarn and showed me a corner revealing order.
-
![Side photo of woman with brown, curly hair against a light background, her eyes closed in peace and her face relaxed in a smile.]()
There’s this knotty+dark me, and there’s this future me. I am becoming the middle-aged lady I always knew I’d become.

![Close up of a woman with brown, curly hair holding one delicate hand to her chest wiht her eyes closed in contemplation.]()
ME: (talking to myself) “It’s going to be okay, Neshama (hand on heart).”
-
![Stack of flat, round, gray stones, or Cairns, diminishing in size up the stack with a reddish pink stone sitting on top.]()
Cairns: a stack of stones letting you know you’re on the right path.
Feel your stories all the way through. Honor them. & move forward with them.
