"Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two."

August 6, 2022. The highest of highs. Here’s to finding the joy in every day together.

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

@ZagWBB need some alum to tag along @FortZagWBB ??

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

signs I know @riley_nm1 has been traveling for too long: I’m talking to my dog like she’s a human, asking about her day, what she’d like me to make for dinner, etc.

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

beyond thankful for the time we were able to share with Deb these past few weeks.

we will miss her more than words can describe but will use the lessons she taught us daily. 🤍

[Nick Riley @riley_nm1]

A lesson my mom instilled in me: presence is powerful.

I am continually reminded of how true this is. Simply “being there” can make all the difference in the world.

We lost my mom on Sunday after 3 years of her bravely managing pancreatic cancer. (1/4)

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

7 YEARS SOBER! 🤗🥳

thankful for family and friends who have supported me along this journey.

on to the next milestone!

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

okay, now I am reallllly unwell.

I was fine and then Serena started to cry so only natural to follow… 😭

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

I love tennis but I am unwell right now.

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

mental health matters. what you say matters. how you choose to treat people matters. how kind you are to people matters.

while our community continues to pick up the pieces, think about ways you can be a better human today. and don’t stop.

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

thankful to have know this incredible woman who could literally light up any room she walked into.

hug, call, text, connect with your loved ones.

heaven gained one fearless, badass, amazing gal. ❤️

[Stanford Cardinal 🌲🤓 @GoStanford]

The Stanford community has suffered an unimaginable loss. Our thoughts & love are with Katie’s family & friends. ❤️

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

#GoStanford x @WellsFargo

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

ummmm… does this mean you are no longer the president of the Shannon Reader fan club…? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Dave Soto @_CoachDave]

Drew Timme makes me laugh more than any player I can remember

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

also, no way in hell would I have caught 1 of those 18 assists. okay… maybe I would had gotten lucky with 1.

but then I would had thrown the other 17 out of bounds or kicked it off my shin or blown the layup. 🥴

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

🐐@Sloot22

[Shannon Reader @ShannonReader]

and the milestone just keeps growing. wouldn’t be hitting these dates if it wasn’t for my amazing friends and family who’ve supported me along the way:

YOUR GIRL IS 6 YEARS SOBER. 🤗
