Excellent. A beautiful perspective of all the feels of life as women, mothers, daughters, dreamers and mourners. And through the words, it too exposes us and affirms our own complicated lives. Thank you. I was truly touched and inspired by the article.

Powerful piece about how flawed we all are but we do the best we can anyway, thanks for sharing.

… because once a week you will receive a letter that will come to feel as if it has been written by friend. How long is it since that happened? Since you had a letter, from a friend?

I won’t be trying to sell you anything, and you won’t always agree with everything I’m saying. Sometimes you will cry, other times I hope you will laugh. Occasionally, you may catch a glimpse of yourself, and your life, and that’s comforting isn’t it? To know you are not alone.

Your coffee will still be hot, and you’ll be able to go on with your day delighted by the fact that you actually finished something you started! Again, how long is it since that happened?

Who are you anyway?
