A friend who knows I love Border Collies recently gifted me a puzzle. It was a Momo puzzle which made it all the more special! Isn’t it funny how one little conversation can change your perspective about something. Recently was dealing with a difficult family situation and everyone sort of kept saying the same thing and I was really feeling bad-until one person said something different and changed my perspective of the situation and ultimately helped me deal with it and resolve it.
Also, could you please write a book about when you lived in the barn and about your mom and early life in the mining town in Canada ? I’m reading Dave Grohls book now, so I’d forgotten about Nickelback, being consumed by Foo Fighters for many many years
‘Eat the guilt’ is a great way to not be consumed *by* the guilt. What a great message.
And while allowing part of it to stay - perhaps the nourishing part that reminds us of the depth of the relationship, why we want to support in the first place - i think it’s also good to release the part of guilt that could harm us.
So, if we are going with the eating analogy, perhaps we poop out the aspects of we can’t control: we can’t be in two places at once, we can’t clone ourselves, we have only so much emotional capacity, etc. Keep what’s nourishing, poop out the parts that aren’t. I’m sure the doggos would agree.
Unique and interesting story with a moral…. Thank you and the doggos for adding to our world. I’m sending my extra copy of Find Momo everywhere to my niece and her two boys who will soon lose a doggie they have had a really long time . Hoping to start another Knapp-fandom there. Long live the memory of beloved Momo❤️and best to you always!

Good ending to a difficult situation 😔
“Connecting a part of my mind to a piece of my heart“ my therapy experience in a nutshell. ❤️
And “Let it stay”, thank you for this. This will be staying with me for a while.

I really loved these thoughts, Andrew. Thanks for sharing! ❤️ And I love these doggos! Thanks for sharing those too!
I needed to read this today. Thanks!
“Sometimes, “letting it be” doesn't work. Sometimes, we have to “let it stay”.“
This sentence from your newsletter today has touched me and as you say, connecting a part of my mind with my heart.
I follow and read you for a long time because I love your books, the dogs, Momo, Boo and Yaya.
But now, every time I read your newsletters I see that your contribution goes further. Your reflections and your way of communicating is valuable.
And I thank you infinitely.
Thank you.

Thank you so much Nieves, means the world to me 🥰
