Always love reading your letters. They offer what I love and need most. Full heart felt emotion of a full human being. Hope you and your family are doing well. xo ❤️
Thank you so much for being here, Danni. It’s heartening for me when someone sees me here and can relate to what I’m putting out in the universe. Thank you so much for the well wishes and it is a day to day adventure for us but we’re learning along the way.
This is what writers do: arrest what seems like an ordinary moment--coffee with friends--and mine it for what is underneath--the bonds forged by shared pain and loss, and by hope. Thank you for such a thoughtful reflection, and a new word!
Thanks so much for seeing this, Stan. That’s some great food for thought, gotta have a plan because it seems like the longer it takes for that plan to come to fruition the viability of that plan loses steam faster. What am I finding in the journey is the real question.
Thanks so much for being here, Don. Yes! Our own house plans are moving along and like a lot of planned things in life it feels like 3 steps forward 2 steps back at times but forward progress is keeping our hopes afloat right now.
Thanks so much for the restack Rochelle!

Can I dm you? xo
Sure!
My favorite line: “Solastalgia is in remission.” Thanks for drawing us into your interwoven stories….
So happy you liked this. The word remission took me a while to come up with.
It’s worth the time :)
Blessed be 🙏🤟
Thanks MaryAnn!
This is beautiful, Steve. “Their eyes,” yes, such a wonderful thing to notice.
You know it, friend. It’s all in the fine details. Thanks for being here, Emily.
So true:)

Thank you so much for being here Rochelle and your heartfelt affirmation.
I think we need a dictionary definition of this word! So cool.
Yeah I should have linked it to my first posts…oh well..😉
Powerful writing. It really shows the depth and importance of the relationship between purpose and happiness. You gotta have a plan.

Purpose gives you the energy and emphasis to move forward. The completion of step gets you looking forward to the next.
Yes! Absolutely, little steps add up to step changes.
Thanks for sharing this human moment with us, for bringing it so well to life.
I hope your own house plans are coming together as well, Steve?
