It\\u2019s hard in the crisis to build that support system. Invest in women\\u2019s lives now. Not because you\\u2019re going to need them in case you have cancer. But that the time invested in friendships, meaningful friendships is worth it.\\u2013Jen

My biggest take-away from our conversation is to view my \\u201cto do\\u201d list as a \\u201cget to do\\u201d list. What joy to get\\xa0to\\xa0pick up my boys from school, to get to\\xa0serve them meals, and to get to\\xa0put them\\xa0to bed!

Wrapping up this summer may we all see our everyday in light of eternity. Be grateful for all our \\u201cget to\\u201ds. And invest in our sweet friendships.
