OMG, I didn’t think your posts could get anymore awesome. For me you’ve smashed it again with heartfelt relatable poignant creative courageous sharing. Thank YOU deeply from the bottom of my heart for providing more ingredients/recipes for living the best life for me. Thank you for thanking me for reading your post to the end. I didn’t want it to end. Finally, I normally feel self conscious posting replies, especially steeped in praise. Not sure why. I don’t feel like this today. Not sure why either. Aside from it being highly justified praise, it’s probably the work I’m doing on myself to just be the equally awesome wonderful me. Praise be to us both my friend. 🙏

OMG, dearest Lisa, you’ve made my day with your generous comment. I’m so glad the awesome wonderful you was willing to come out and connect today! I love that you said “ingredients/recipes” and that’s an intriguing way to look at this! I could have called this post A Recipe to Get People to Leave You Alone!! 🙏 🤗

Such a gift - an affirmation - receiving what you’re offering here, Pamela. ThankYou!

My current Work is so much about this - being genuinely happy, calm and present inside of any & all circumstances. You have me at -

“ … being genuinely happy much of the time, enjoying your work, allowing all the feelings to arise, and choosing to be calm and present as often as possible.

It’s boring to be me! There’s minimal drama, reactive blaming, commiserating, “fun” escape mechanisms, and an early bedtime.”

L💛VE & YESSSSSSS

Also - looking forward to receiving your thinking & hearing your voice related to this:

“Love your life. I do! Not because it’s full of glamour or glitz, but because I’ve come to appreciate simplicity, have made peace with things beyond my control, and take pleasure in the little things. I thought this was to be the topic of today’s post and have an article nearly ready to go, but my editor-in-chief gave a new last minute assignment. More on this soon, maybe next week.”
