I feel like I'm always coming here to leave mushy comments of gratitude instead of adding something to the conversation, but you seem to have a knack for writing about topics that land on me on just the right day in just the right way - either smacking me upside the head or patting me on the back or maybe just squeezing my hand in a reassuring way. So, here I am. Again. To thank you for another beautiful piece that zings right in to the heart of some stuff I'm working through (for the first time in my life, and ... whoa, Nelly!). I take this as a sign that I'm on the right path, even if it's one that is full of pot holes that look an awful lot like bottomless pits if you peer in a little too closely. It's comforting to know that people other than me have already traveled this way, and found themselves on better footing further along the road.
Jamie, I always love hearing about how the posts affect you all, so don't worry. This is the most silent public thing I've ever done, and I'm not sure if it's Substack as a medium, or that no one has the energy to participate in online things the way they used to, or if I'm just not engaging enough. Any of these is possible. But I'm really glad the past spoke to you, and I'm always happy to hear from you, anytime. 😊
