ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A book is the manifestation of the support, labor, and energy of so many different people. To my family, friends, and peers: I am thankful for your endless support, especially to my mother, Rolf, Nicole, and Rowan. And to everyone at Adams Media: Thank you so much for your hard work in bringing this book to fruition! Special thanks to Eileen, Sarah, Sylvia, and Mary Kate for your continuous guidance, wisdom, and patience.
To all my readers: Connecting with all of you has uplifted me in countless ways that I cannot adequately express. Know that you have all meant so much to me! And to the works that have come before me, enabling me to stand on your shoulders and even attempt to craft this book in the first place, I am forever grateful.
To try and capture the moon in a glass is an almost impossible task, and Im sure I couldve done it many other ways. The moon is an endless source of inspiration for transformation, reflection, and magic that illuminates my every waking moment. I am forever grateful for its wisdom, and I hope I can share that here with you!
I also want to give thanks and acknowledge that I live on Muwekma Ohlone Land.
