Hey!

Glad you’re back!

Indeed, in this “must be known for a specialty” demanding world, the creator (writer) gets committed to a singular topic, while we’re all so much more than that.

Unfortunately, the audience commonly rewards predictability…

Writing here,…well…I’ll spare you my soap box. Suffice to say, I hate it. Yet, I keep coming back to write some more. It’s not the act of writing, but what this platform, the algorithm, their pandering to mainstream, and suffocating small voices will do to your psychological wellbeing. That’s what I hate.

Writing, the art of telling stories, teaching, connecting, analyzing…I love that part.

And with that, I love that you’re back!

Since I’m already tripling down on “love” now: congratulations to finding and building a great relationship!!

Keep up the great living, and we will continue to look forward to your political rants, because they are so very valid right now.

Great to have you back, Brie! I'm so happy to hear all your good news. And am looking forward to reading whatever you choose to write about. I'm glad you're following your heart in more ways than one. I think it's the only way that really works in the long term, messy as it can be along the way. At least that is the principle I've been proceeding on, for almost 73 years now--and--um--so far, so good? I guess? :-)

Glad to have you back. Your absence was noted; especially your laugh; and your bewildered good humor about our pants-on-fire politics, and what revolting idiots politicians are. Outraged commentary I can find anywhere. Your voice is unique.

That special man is a lucky s.o.b.

I’m a bit jealous…I am currently in a period of great upheaval in my life…it’s very challenging cuz I’m 75 and trying to navigate life completely on my own. I’m jealous cuz you’re in Arizona. My new focus for my future is to move back to Flagstaff a year from now. I can’t wait to get back to AZ
