How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Vineyard

Reading room · Vineyard edition

The bravest sentence a settled person in Vineyard can say isn't 'I want more.' It's 'I still do.'

And this is Vineyard: an established Provo-Orem-area community where the houses are cared for, the calendars are full, and the question 'is this all?' shows up right on schedule Which is exactly the kind of setting where comfort is easiest to mistake for closure.

🎧 A note for Vineyard readers (spoken excerpt)

“Gratitude and growth can coexist.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

The pattern Vineyard knows by heart

Comfort arrives as a reward, stays as a routine, and leaves as a regret — usually in that order.
You keep upgrading the life and forgetting the liver of it.
You've outsourced wanting to the next purchase, the next trip, the next anything.

The 10-10-10 on autopilot

List the ten things you did last week out of habit. Circle the ones you'd choose again on purpose.
For each circled one you don't love: either upgrade it or schedule one deliberate replacement this month.

You can grieve nothing about your life and still feel the pull toward more. That pull isn't ingratitude. It's direction.

Which kind of reader it's for

There are books that fire you up for a week, and books that recalibrate a decade. Readers describe this one as the second kind — the rare title that gets more useful as your life gets fuller.
