One person’s crap is another’s fertilizer. Your words are blooming, friend. Please keep letting them grow. ❤️

I've been admiring you from afar - first introduced to your pie by Haven and Mason, and then through your writing, and then through your connection with Gareth (we went to N. Ireland on one of his retreats). I love the "where I am from" exercise and give thanks for you sharing your story in that way. Thanks for writing lovely stuff to help us all get better.

I LOVE A SMALL WORLD getting even smaller. You've dropped some of my favorite humans names, helping me meet you in such a way to call you friend. I hope our paths will cross. You're wonderful. Hello friend.

Wow, your writing has evolved in a burst of stardust! Awesome writing, I recognized many of the things you named, some painfully familiar, some lovingly familiar, some giggling familiar. Please keep writing, as an artist of life, your words contribute to what we all need now.

A burst of stardust, I love this image. Thank you friend and I love knowing you DO KNOW so many of these places, real and imagined. Thank you for holding out your hand to grab mine. ❤️

Your beautiful words have come along at a time of my own deep, difficult, and somewhat painful reflection. Thankful for your wisdom and sharing. Love you! Feel better~

Friend, go easy on you. The pain must be taken in equal measure to the joy. Take two and I'll call you when this infection lets go of me. Love you too.
