It’s the first Monday of the month, so it’s a slightly chattier 77% Weekly.

Beloved reader,
I’d love to frame it as “I am figuring out how to do things right,” but that doesn’t feel authentic.
I can’t frame it like that.
Because I’m doing something wrong.
I’m messing up.
It’s obvious.
===
Meditation and life have taught me not to believe every thought I have.
So, maybe it’s not true?
Maybe the Rabbi Brian’s Highly Unorthodox Gospel not being available for you to order is not my fault?
That’s really hard to believe.
I mean, who else is there to blame?

Yesterday, I saw the following in an old text thread with a friend:
—Thu, Jan 25 at 5:20PM—
In unrelated news: I finished my book manuscript today.
That was the start of this calendar year!
Surely you’d have read the book by now.
===
But, other than not estimating publication time well, I’m not doing anything wrong.
It’s not a character flaw.
Hardly something to beat myself up about.
===
On page 5 of the book you will see this:
Shame =
S.hould
H.ave
A.lready
M.astered
E.verything.
===
Time to be compassionate to myself.
Again.
You’ll hopefully get the book in July.

I’m looking for 1,000 ROTB subscribers to indicate they will buy a book when it comes out.
