I know that @abbywambach is a hero to many of you, so I want to ask in advance that you forgive her for what she has done to me this morning.

Today, in my very own home, on this very morning, I stumbled into my bathroom to find this. A new, unfamiliar toothbrush sitting upon my sink counter with my name written on it in loud red sharpie.
I have come to two conclusions:

1️⃣ My wife does not appreciate art. The stalagmite sculpture on my previous toothbrush was reaching epic, poetic proportions. We will now never know what could have been. This is a great loss for the Toothpaste Stalagmite Community.

2️⃣ My wife does not appreciate sharing. Clearly my name being written here can only indicate that my wife is finished with the Toothbrush Sharing Phase of our relationship. I cannot say I’m completely surprised. Since she does not understand art, she has always struggled to accept the very simple concept that: If one is growing art on one’s toothbrush, then one must use one’s wife’s toothbrush, because hers is artless and therefore useable. Since my wife has never taught kindergarten, as I have, she may have missed the lesson in which one learns that Sharing is Caring.

One extra thing—for the record: I am uncomfortable with the complete lack of any exclamation points, smiley faces, or hearts added after my name. I can’t help but feel like this toothbrush is mad at me. I shall not use it. I shall not. I shan’t.

HOLIDAY HANDS UPDATE! YOU DID IT!!! .

Today, through @together.rising Holiday Hands program, you met the needs of 550 families in less than 2 hours.You are unbelieveable. .

We at Together Rising are overwhelmed, filled up, exhausted, and mostly – grateful. .

Grateful for the courage of the askers and grateful for the character of the givers. Grateful that we are able to create the world we live in. Grateful that today, you showed up and created a more beautiful world. .

Isn’t it wild? We spend so much time looking at the world with our hearts broken - wishing it were different. Wishing people cared for each other. Wishing people would be kinder, live bigger, think beyond themselves. .

And then one day we find ourselves jumping in and MAKING IT SO. These 550 families will go to bed tonight in a kinder, bigger, smaller, better world. .

THANK YOU!

And 4 things:
1️⃣ If you missed Holiday Hands and still want to help families over the holidays, you can give a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation to Together Rising by going to togetherrising.org/give/ (or the link in my bio). We continue receiving & filling requests for holiday needs through mid-December — and we fill the needs of families all year long. .

2️⃣ If you cannot give financially, but want to give holiday love, we have a section of listings asking for thoughts /letters /encouragement/ prayers – so please head over to the “Together Letters” section at togetherrising.org/holidayhands to connect with a family there. .

3️⃣ Your trust in Together Rising is everything to us. We honor our commitment to this community by researching every Holiday Hands request, as well as each need we meet in our daily and holiday giving. We are unable to review requests made directly on social media, so instead of matching giving to requests on our social media pages, we ask that if you missed the opportunity to list your need in Holiday Hands, please go to https://togetherrising.org/request-help-individual-or-family-application/ and tell us about your need. .

4️⃣ If you participated in Holiday Hands as a Lister or Giver:THANK YOU!!!! Please Swipe Left XOXO

TODAY IS THE 9th ANNUAL HOLIDAY @together.rising HANDS MATCH DAY!!! .

We show up to Holiday Hands to help others. We show up to change another family’s holiday. And then somewhere during the process we realize that the family that is changed is our own. .
Because we can and should act out what we believe. .
We can say LOVE WINS and we can DO LOVE WINS. .

We can believe that WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER and we can also MAKE THAT SO. .
We get to do that TODAY!!! Today we get to stop wishing for a kinder, better, more decent world, and we get to start creating one for 550 families. .

The way we do this is to say to one of these strangers on the Holiday Hands list: “Hey, friend. I’d rather my kids get three holiday gifts and your kids get three holiday gifts, than my kids get six gifts and your kids get no gifts.” .. We let our families watch us do this. We show our children the families we’re helping. And then we can show our families — not just tell them – what love looks like. .

Today, let’s build the kind of world we want for ourselves, for our kids, and for each other. We need your help to pull off this miracle again! .
Find your family match at the link in my bio☝️

Friends! ‪Tomorrow morning, we match Holiday Hands families with givers. ‬Holiday Hands is an annual labor of love for @together.rising , but mostly it’s a miracle that YOU pull off every year. It is when we re-learn that small things with great love are what change the world. .
It’s when we PROVE what we BELIEVE: We Belong To Each Other. It’s when we show our own families what the holidays are really about. .

Please read a few of these Holiday Hands requests: .
❤️ “I am a single mom to 4 amazing kids and although I work hard to provide for them, my budget is very tight. I would be so appreciative for a little extra help to surprise them!” .
❤️”Please help me, my brothers, and sister spoil my mom this Christmas! She works so hard to take care of us. I know that she doesn’t have a lot, but never complains. She wears the same older clothes and never buys anything special for herself. She had some car repairs that needed to be done, and with an already tight budget, I know she was already stressing! Please make my mom’s Christmas happy!” . .
❤️ “I teach at-risk teens at a high school in Wisconsin. I help coordinate our in-house food and personal essentials pantry, which serves students experiencing food insecurity. I am hoping a few of you lovelies would consider sending some gift cards that we could share with our students at the holidays.” .

Please come back ‪tomorrow morning‬. We want these people to FEEL the net — that is below and above and around their families — waiting to catch them this year. .

Be a part of the miracle. Just show up, please. Gather your giving-est friends and come back TOMORROW (TUES. 19) ‪at 10 AM ET. Tomorrow‬ is when we get to stop wishing for a kinder, better, more decent world, and we get to start creating one hundreds of families. .

We need you. We need everybody. Love is Showing Up. Let’s Show Up here tomorrow!

We are on our way across the state to watch our kiddos score goals and immediately have them canceled cause offside. .

Glossary for Newbie Soccer Parents:
1️⃣ Good Hustle! = Whatever you just did wasn’t good but you tried really hard and I love you, honey. .

2️⃣ Good Idea! = Lord have mercy. Perhaps singing lessons for you.

3️⃣ Offside! = Like God, it is a great mystery. Breathe deeply. Ask no questions. Surrender. .

4️⃣ RUN FASTER! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME, KID! WAKE UP, REF! JESUS CHRIST, COME ON! IT’S GOTTA BE BETTER! = I have forgotten that this hour is not about me. I have forgotten that my child is in sports to learn how to think, lead, follow, lose with dignity and win with class. That my child is here to make mistakes and try again, to learn respect and self control and confidence and humility. I have not considered that what I’m modeling on these sidelines right now is undoing everything my child is here to learn. When my kid quits soccer in a couple years, I won’t understand why. It might be because I made this hour about me. It might be because my child didn’t want to disappoint me anymore. It might be because she had a coach all along- what she needed was a parent.* .
*Girls are dropping out of youth sports by age 14 at alarming rates. Let’s not be one of the reasons.

I left the room for one minute to get my easel to try to explain my world changing morning idea in graphics and this is what I came back to. I just think she might be trying to tell me something but am unsure.
@abbywambach I waited till 10 this is unfair.

We announced the tour today at noon, and one event is already sold out and several are very close to selling out.
So please, if you want to come, get your seats before they’re gone.  And please tag your friends so they won’t miss it.

Also – a special shout out to my fellow introverts:  I’ve heard from so many of you today who want to come but are nervous about coming alone (and/or generally leaving your couch). What I want to say to you is this:  Please come.  You and I will be two of HUNDREDS of nervous introverts fighting anxiety in that gorgeous, brave, powerful room. Here’s to our boldness and showing up for ourselves.  So Untamed of us! .

I can’t wait to be with all of you.  I love you.  I love us.

P.S. Denver sold out very very quickly. We are working with the fire department to add more capacity without violating fire codes. If you want to be first to know about whether there will be more seats offered for Denver please click through that event and add your email to the waitlist. .

P.P.S. We are hearing from people who are sad because several events sold out so fast. And this makes me sad that you are sad. Can you please sign up for my newsletter (you can do it at the link in my bio or UntamedBook.com) because I announce events to that list first and I don’t want you to miss the chance to come to any others. .

3PS. Thank you for the love today. I’m overwhelmed and grateful.

Big day. BIG DAY!
.

Here’s why: The UNTAMED TOUR is on sale today!!! Link in bio ☝🏼for seats! .

As you know, I’m going to be traveling much less in the coming months because my couch misses me terribly when I’m gone. But in March 2020: I’M LEAVING MY BELOVED COUCH AND I’M COMING TO YOU!!! THE UNTAMED TOUR IS COMING TO YOU!!! .

You need to come. Just COME. Grab your untamed friends and your partner and your mama and your neighbors or be super brave and come with your untamed self. .

Come because I have things I need to talk to you about in person. Untamed is packed with BIG NEW DOOZY-ISH ideas that we are going to need to discuss and cry and dance and sing and laugh hard about. IN PERSON. TOGETHER. .

Big things like parenting and loss and betrayal and grief and freedom and joy and forgiveness and sex and boundaries and finally, finally, finally coming alive. .

This is what I can promise you: It’ll be a good night. It’ll be a night that fills you up and provides you the laughs, depth, comfort, fuel, fire, ideas and deep breaths you need to return to your lives more ALIVE. We can do that together. .

Also, and I beg you, if you want to come, please get your tickets today. They always go fast, and then you write to me sadly and I read your emails sadly and there’s nothing I can do to fix it. Be BOLD. Do it today. And tag your untamed friends so they don’t miss it, either. .
