I do not have the words to describe the feeling of seeing my book on a table at barnes & noble. My goodness. Thank you for this video, @marktownsend1 and thank you for being by my side in NY and LA for this entire very emotional journey. I love you so. Thank you Megan for being with me and having my back for the entirety of my career! Thank you to everyone that has come out to these book signings and waiting in line for just a brief moment with me. Thank you for the very personal and emotional stories you’ve been sharing with me. They mean the world to me and make it all worth it. Thank you to my dearest friends that waited in line to surprise me (😭!!!). Thank you! I love you!!
See you next Austin!!! ♥️
So thankful. So full of love.
That’s me. That’s all.
For now. I am acutely aware that everything is temporary.
So in these moments of goodness and joys I am mindful to be present and so thankful to the universe and also of course to myself for all the hard effing work to be in such a healthy and grounded space in this moment. For things not to be so hard anymore. At least not right now.
Sometimes when something good happens I stop what I’m doing, put my hand on my heart and whisper aloud as many times as I feel fit, thank you thank you thank you thank you to whoever might be listening that’s had a hand in guiding me here. 🦩💫
Thank you to all that have read and listened(!!) to my book and for being such compassionate and empathetic witnesses to all my most tangled up bits.
Thank you all for making me feel so seen by sharing your stories with me about how my book made you feel seen! What a beautiful exchange.
I see all your notes and try to respond to as many as I can every day (for as long as I feel comfortable sitting on my phone at a time :).
Thank you for the abundance of love.
I feel you. I see you. I love you.

Since the loss of my mother, I have wanted to dive deeper into the lives of women around me. It remains so important to me to know that what we do at ABLE directly contributes to jobs and dignity for women around the world. I’m excited and grateful to release another collection of jewelry made by the courageous women who work in ABLE’s Nashville jewelry studio.
The first piece I designed for this collection is a ring based on one from my grandmother. I wear it to remind me that there are many seasons to our lives, and I hope this collection can serve as a reminder for others in the same way. Throughout difficult and joyful times, your loved ones and chosen family will be the constant to take you through it all.
This collection is classic yet bold. These pieces feature strong, modern lines but capture a vintage feel. They’re meant for everyday wear and made with 14k gold-filled and vermeil materials, so you can have effortless style every day.
I hope this new ABLE × Minka Kelly collection will empower you as much as it empowers the women who made it.

Look Mom we’re a NYT bestseller! 🥹
✨ ♥️🦩♥️✨
fancy new jacket with NYT bestseller line on it… if there’s a reprint of the hardcover this will be reflected on those new hardcover jackets. wow who knew. certainly not me.
very thankful.
While @minkakelly is most known for playing Lyla Garrity, the All American cheerleader on the hit, Emmy award winning TV show Friday Night Lights, that’s definitely not the most remarkable thing about her. And that role, where Minka played a spoiled, beautiful and rich cheerleader is almost diametrically opposed to Minka’s actual childhood, grounded in trauma and neglect. Minka’s mother was a stripper who struggled with addiction, and Minka couch-surfed her way through her life, unmoored and often untended. At one point, they even lived in a storage unit. Minka tells this story in her New York Times bestselling memoir, Tell Me Everything, which manages something rare: It is both an honest and unflinching revelation of a very challenging and abusive childhood and a love letter to her single mom. This is very difficult to do and a testament to Minka’s strength, resilience, and desire to heal—her willingness to hold her mother close while acknowledging everything she did not receive as a child creates a memoir of power and reconciliation.
Having a bit of an endorphin hangover this morning. Last stop of the tour in my favorite city at my favorite book store with some of my favorite people. Thank you, Austin! Thank you everyone for reading this book! Thank you for coming to these readings and sharing space and feelings and tears with me. Thank you to my editors and publishers and publicists and everyone in my life holding my hand for this whole entire very surreal journey.
I’m so in love and so deeply in gratitude.
Thank you 🙏🏼♥️😭 BookPeople

It’s hard to see the full story when we’re in it. We imagine some sort of progress, and then, very quickly, we realize how much further we have to go.
Listen to @MinkaKelly speak so honestly about untangling her complicated childhood and learning to let go of those instincts that served her well when she needed to take care of herself, and now as she learns to be soft.
