Well, that about sums it up and puts a bow on it! Elegantly, gently, with humor and vulnerability.

You’re the best! And getting better!!

Did you ever drive a Volkswagen Gary? I expect you might have mentioned it if you had… 😂

I love that we can tease.

Thanks for your kind words.

You have me figured out! Yes; 1974 VW Bus. Not the Westphalia camper model. No A/C. AM radio. And I loved it. It took me places where other vehicles couldn’t go. My backpacking transportation. Our month long vacation that took us to Maine and eventually Prince Edward Island. Canada was simply wonderful.

FAHRVERGNUGEN! The van came with that on a sticker and a stick figure gripping the steering wheel and wind flowing off his back. The graphic was VW’s campaign touting the experience of driving a VW. I didn’t need a sticker to know that!

Love the teasing, too. 😊

There are so many shares you’ve made that are shaping me and helping me to move forward with grace Sana.

In TCW or FL you once shared a quote that I hold close. Apologies for not remembering the source. “If you can feel everything, you can do anything.”

Gail, you keep on feeling that acceptance, grace, and love. And if those other emotions pop up, feel them, too, because you have every right. Then let them slide away. Send them out on a leash with Henny and let her lose them in the woods. Above all--keep your eye on the prize. CURE. XXOO

Thank you Karen. ♥️💜💚 I only had about six hours all last week of feeling physically miserable. When the body hurts it sure is difficult to shift the mind! Grateful it took me less than a day to feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I am certainly expanding my range of empathetic understanding!

Love to you! XO

Thank you Kathy! In a conversation with some TCW alum I heard you are close to... or have recently published a book? Tell us about it?

I'm heading to the finish line with my book Gail, thanks for asking. I hope to publish this spring. I will post some updates on the Creatives discourse.
