Beautiful. You sucked me in at paragraph nine, "That’s when I met Ana." and I couldn't pull away. She was a gift to you and you were so lucky to have met her.
We didn't save you, you saved you. You did that. Welcome to this side of trauma where it no longer holds us back.
Aly, I am sure your words will have struck a chord within each person who embraces your story, as they have struck me. What's worth keeping? I will add these words to my vision board - the one I view every morning as I sit at my cozy little writing table and they will guide me towards finding the courage to write what's inside of my heart rather than a day to day accounting of my life. <3
Hi Aly, I met you at NAMM in 2014/15. I love your music and really enjoyed our brief talk.
Your essay brought tears to my old eyes. I was the caretaker for my wife, who passed 6 months ago, the lessons learned about life, true love, and denial are profound.
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. I hosted for you during a songwriters festival in Dripping Springs a few years ago. I love that you are writing, et al but happy you are still singing. Your music is special and beautiful. Another beautiful Goddess walking her path! Sign me up!! ❤️Jean Anne Allen
Oh, Jean! I remember your beautiful home and porch so well. Such great memories from that festival. Thank you for reading and for your warm encouragement. <3
Hi Ally, that is such an emotional moving piece you've written, feels like you've really bared your soul - something I would find difficult to do. My daughter Kate took me to see you at a small outdoor show near Nottingham maybe 10 years ago - when you were part of Sweetness I think the group was called. Regards, Frank.
Oh Allie, your talent makes me swoon. Thank you.
Thank you, Claudia. <3
Wonderful Aly! The writing is great. So cool to see you working on yet another talent. Keep rocking.
Blake! It’s so great to hear from you. Thanks for reading. 💜
Damn! This is so very good. It’s powerful, honest, and inspiring. Special. Thanks for sharing.
I love seeing you pursue your passions, SG!
Right back at you, gorgeous <3
I love seeing you pursue your passions SG!

Eagerly looking forward to more.
Thank you, Michael ♥️
Such a pleasure to read this. It is great to have you back writing publicly again. You have been missed.
I still have a mix cd from you - quite a few years ago now you asked if anyone wanted to swap guilty pleasure songs, yours was mostly Ani de Franco 😉
Emma!! It's so great to hear from you and oh my god I remember that CD!

Roxanne, I love the image of you sitting at your writing table! I post little signs in front of mine, too. :)

Thank you, Frank. I remember that house show so vividly!
Wow. Just wow. So happy to hear your words again. Thanks. This hit deep.
Ray, it's so good to see your name again! Thank you. <3
Glad to have your stories out again.
Thank you for reading, Tomás! <3
