This past weekend was the American Library Association’s mid-year conference and I was finally lucky enough to meet poet and author Rebecca Gardyn Levington. We’ve known each other for several years on social media and it was a treat to finally meet in person, take a photo, and get a signed copy of her book, WHATEVER COMES TOMORROW.

I was also able to attend a session with Rebecca and several other poets the next day in which Rebecca talked briefly about her own bouts with anxiety — as a child and still, on occasion, as an adult. Don’t we all have those moments when we need to remind ourselves that we’re stronger and braver than we think?

You can’t control what happens next – the what, the where, the how.

The only thin in your control is you.

Right here.

Right now.

Beautifully illustrated in bright, bold colors by Mariona Cabassa, with helpful “Tips for Managing Worries” written by a child development specialist in the backmatter, Whatever Comes Tomorrow is just the right reminder to ease the jitters we all feel from time to time.

Whatever comes tomorrow, however steep the hill…

… you’ll find your path. You’ll journey on. You’ll make it through.

You will.
