I want to respond with how great this one is for this week, in particular, but also my writing (even in a comment) really pales in comparison to what you wrote. All that to say thanks for writing and letting us read along.

It’s been so much scarier hitting send on these than I thought it would be, mostly cuz I worry I’m not making any sense, so truly thank you for your comment.

Glad to know I’m not alone, I have a lot of my raw writing sitting in the pipeline for one final read before hitting send (basically when I haven’t been smoking) because I too fear I’m not making sense, but then I remember the Talking Heads album Stop Making Sense, and it helps knowing there’s a lot more of us out here than we think — we just need to get back to talking to each other. LOL, if that makes any sense?♥️

They way it all makes sense even though it shouldn’t/ doesn’t technically follow the rules is liberating. I’m addition to the content matter.

I am taking some big risks right now in life (hopefully for the benefit of many??) and your writing strengthens my weakening resolve. It is worth it to live for others. My husband and I had a good big conversation re: my tears after reading this. Thank you, Connie!

I always find myself hungry for more of your writing when I read these, but this one was a veritable feast. Thank you. Lots of gristle to chew on.
