Let's Be Real People to Each Other
After writing about how we're all fairies to each other online—presenting curated versions of ourselves that can never capture the fullness of our embodied humanity—I'm more committed than ever to genuine connection. I don't want to be a fairy-mirage to you, and I hope you won't be one to me.
If you'd like to reach out, here's how:
For speaking engagements, podcast interviews, or media inquiries: I love having conversations about faith, education, storytelling, and the places where they intersect. I'm always happy to discuss my work or explore ideas that might resonate with your audience.
For questions about my books or writing: Whether you're curious about Orthodox education, interested in my fiction, or want to know more about any of my projects, I'm glad to connect.
For personal correspondence: I read every message, though I may not be able to respond to everyone individually. I'm especially drawn to letters that feel like real conversation—the kind we might have if we were sitting together with tea, watching the light change through the window.
A gentle reminder: The internet may be fairyland, but the people using it are not fairies. I'm a real person with a real family, real responsibilities, and real limitations. I try to respond thoughtfully rather than quickly, and I hope you'll understand if that means it takes me a while to get back to you.
What I'm hoping for: Conversations that honor the silver cord connecting us to our embodied lives. Exchanges that might, with patience and grace, transform into something more than digital personas talking past each other. The kind of connection that remembers we're all trying to figure out how to be human in this strange and wonderful world.
