Thanks so much for sharing. I see parallels between your experiences and mine as I continue songwriting and prepare to release the second draft of a novel I wrote. Inspired by your method here, I am going to release in installments via Substack. Hope you and yours have a happy new year 🎉

These pieces are always insightful and inspirational. In discussing your challenges and aspirations, you challenge your readers to understand and be better versions of themselves. I’m excited about your upcoming classes, book (yeah, it’s germinating), and all your successes. Love seeing J with his red electric guitar! 🎸 Here’s to continuing to help others! Happy 2024!

Love the enforced rest and reflection ☺️ I immediately remembered getting sick almost every year at the end of another summer leading teen service programs… all “go” all the time for 6-10 weeks, followed by a clockwork period of sickness once I was home and responsible only for myself. My body dutifully waiting its turn…

Just keep in mind that you are an awesome person loved by many. We are all in your corner. So sorry I'm not able to join you for one of the workshops but it's just a bit far to commute. 😉
