because i couldn't have said it better myself.

"So this year, I am going to relax about the time tables. I have the love of my life and hilarious beautiful creative children surrounding me, and they keep me magnetized and pulled close to them, and so if that means that it's going to take longer to get to where I want to be, that's fine. I am getting there with good company, and in good standing with all of them. In the end, we won't be strangers when we get there. Together."
