Kate Simpson, Ellen Watson, and Kari Herer became friends where they live in Maine, offering support through the trials of life - through divorce, the challenges of parenting, the witnessing of a loved one suffering from illness, loss, and transition. Offering an ear, a good read, or a bad joke, they've shared deep-in-the-bones grief that simply can't be articulated, followed by bouts of medicinal laughter. Uncovering healing tools along the way, they sought help from numerous resources, but as they got caught up in their daily activities, these instructions for life," the keys to getting back to their feet, quickly slipped away. So they decided to bring these elements all into one place, to gather research-proven science into a journal that aids with one's own attempt to find balance. Their hope is that Take Two to supports you, supports all of us, on a path to a thriving, more renewed life.
