Thank you! I am always honored when writers follow, like, and comment because I feel I have no business in this space. But then I realize that this is why I like substack, I can do whatever the heck I want here! Thank you for the support! It is like a buoy.

I resonate with everything here. I'd only argue that in fact, I do think you have business in this space.

Nessa, there is magic in your words. Your beautiful words. Your wise words. Your courageous words. Your admirable and admired words. Your thoughts are so often my thoughts, but I can't express them like you can. I am at a loss for words. Thank you for expressing my thoughts for me. I love you.

My dear wise friend! I am grateful for you. I love you! I want to share a photo of us we took when you visited the garden with your permission. Let me know. I wouldn't mind spotlighting your 9 decades of life wisdom too...

I never object to a photo of me. At my age, I like seeing myself in pictures. I amaze myself. I really can't believe I'm this old and still with it (pretty much).
