Sara,

You're a remarkable woman with a truly fascinating mind, on your own journey of discovery, just like so many of us are. You've already produced so many wonderful works, big and small, and I wait patiently for the many more that will be forthcoming.

Continue to make the progress that feels right for you, and please continue allowing yourself to feel those feelings, as well as create stories that explore them more deeply.

In my own case, after many missteps, but without ever giving up on the hope of what was possible, I will share the final steps of my journey with the kindest, most loving woman I have ever known, feeling a deep contentment and happiness I did not even know was possible.

I wish for the same to become true for you: your own very generous heart deserves to be tenderly held and cherished by another who gives you all that you seek.

Thank you!

OMG what timing. I just this minute closed a message from a friend who's been MIA for a few years, presumably due to some infraction on my part. She does that. She takes insult over perceived slights and then disappears until I apologize.

I had decided not to chase after her forgiveness any more. Seeing her warm message in my inbox today tempted me to respond with "I miss you." But I didn't. I just wished her well and closed with "love."

I'm so quick to guilt, I'm working on eliminating its sources - external and internal.

Sara, I adore your writing.
