The theme of this release is crossing thresholds.

The word “threshold” represents that moment of stepping through a doorway, not quite in either room, that captures the experience of being in-between identities or life paths. It’s both a boundary and an invitation, a place of vulnerability where we can start to leave behind the security of what we know while also accepting the enormity of what might emerge.

It’s in this suspended state where we often find our most profound insights and unexpected strengths. Those who linger at the threshold, rather than rush through it, discover the unique wisdom that comes only from inhabiting this liminal space.

Each essay in this collection explores the feeling of stepping into and moving through a threshold, whether in our sense of home, bold life changes, identity shifts, the passage of time, parenting, or place.
