Reading this only now and imagining the beautiful healing cocoon you had the wisdom to fashion, you are indeed a wise woman. Sending healing thoughts. xx

I am crawling back in there this week. Need some shelter, some ease.

Oh lovely, what a journey! You were on my mind this last weekend. Now I know why. Speedy healing and easeful metamorphosizing. I'm so glad you are through the surgery with ease. Sending healing angels your way ❤️

Thank you for the angels. They found me, just this morning, as I was reviewing a notebook from last year. An unpublished post of six dreams - all of which I needed to read and re-dream today. Sending you love and by now I know you've found some favorite cafes near your new home. We will meet at one when I next visit your town. Big love.

I’ve been missing you and thinking of you

I’m pondering “cronedom “ and the changes that being 68 brings as well as the moments of pausing to wonder and to heal health challenges and our bodies. To find the threads of thoughts and ideas that sharing with each other helps to weave the tapestry or cloth of our beings ...our spirits and souls. Sending you love 💗 looking forward to sitting with a cup of tea and you one day soon

I am already envisioning that tea - and that conversation. :)

Life is a bit all over the place for me in these present days so I was really drawn to how you anchored/anchor yourself. That book series looks like something that would delight me. I am straight on to that. When we share our stories it really does help us and others. It's a kind of magic. I write My List of Me. I am an neverending (while alive) story so it shan't stop writing it until I do in this earthly form. I am sharing with my psychologist and probably my children and husband, and maybe one day, in some form with others.

So much love to you. What a magic modern science can be. When you described your procedure I was in complete awe.

Yes! Never stop writing. I am thrilled to hear about your neverending story. It took me a long time to realize that my stories can be just for me - I don't ever have to share them. But I can. If I want to. What does seem to be required (or necessary) is that we get these stories out of our heads, onto the page - onto the canvas. We need to dance them, sing them, paint them.

PS I love "My List of Me" - wonderful title for a book! I, too, am collecting a neverending pile of writing. Just beginning to release (some of) it onto Substack.

Oh. my. goodness. I’m very grateful to you for writing this. I have a sense of such an enhanced…presence? Anyway, I miss you and I am praying for your healing. Blessings for your journey, dear teacher.

I love that . . . "enhanced presence" - it does feel that way... but tell me, what does that mean to you? I want to understand. PS thank you for the blessings. I love you, too.

I imagine this has been a harrowing experience. I am so proud of you getting through this. ( I can hear you say, “as if I had a choice?! Giggle)

Science is becoming more brilliant each day. Robotics in medicine is saving lives and saving those having these procedures much less pain and healing time.

I am relieved you are OK, always brave, Amy. I am also relieved you are including modern medicine in your life, as necessary.

Be well. Reach out when you want to cousin-sister. Heal, be well. My love always surrounds you.

Thank you, dear Cousin. I feel you there. On another note: I could go for a chocolate frosted Downyflake right about now. :)

I'm so glad you are ok, here, however you've become through this. I didn't know and I'm glad I do now. Many many blessings, dear sweet Amy.

I am glad you know - glad of your presence and grateful for these blessings. That said, whether you knew (consciously) or not, I always feel you there. Long distance friends who somehow just found one another.

It looks like I haven't been here for three months so I didn't see your lovely note until now. Yes. I feel you, too. Much love.
