Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Yayyyyyyyy! Wake! I am so glad to hear this. So glad! I knew as soon as I started reading your post that the bookstore was going to happen and I wanted to speed through what you'd written to get the good news, but I also knew I would enjoy it so much more if I slowed down and let myself savour everything you wrote about the journey. Gawd I really despise the idea that you are too much. I have heard this too from folks: take a valliam, a chill pill..youre such a keener...blah blah blah. Now I announce it proudly when I sit I'm the front row at readings. I *am* a keener. We, you and me, put our whole hearts into what we do. I am thrilled that Curious & Kind will be in the world again as a hub of support for all those who have ever been told they are too much. Huzzah!
I’m excited to create a little space where I and the people arrive in it are welcomed the way they are (unless that way is hateful…I definitely don’t have room for that).
I was also called a *keener*, what an odd insult. To be keen is such a magical thing.
I’m so glad to share a world with you and the other wondrous whole-hearted folks. 💖💖💖
Oh wow! I’m so pleased you’ve chosen to build your community here. And that you somehow figured out how to do the bookstore despite 3 lovely shops already existing 😉. And that you are doing it on your terms.
I had not heard of Rosefinch Mercantile. Oh! It’s in Port Medway! I know that place. We used to go to the cafe that was there pre Covid. It was lovely and I was sad it closed. I’m so glad someone is using that space.
I do feel grateful for a town just adjacent to this one without a bookstore where I can build this tiny dream.
I feel grateful to the people who’ve let me work in their spaces and remind me that I’m actually very capable when in an environment conducive to my weird and whimsical self.
(I’m also reading this is in the early hours of the morning) Wow, congratulations! I admire your determination, and your story is so important. I’ve always wanted to visit the east coast, hopefully one day I’ll be able to visit your bookstore 💜
What can I say but, I knew you would do it. Congratulations!!!!! You are the best most resilient human I know. I’m so glad that Curious and Kind will rise again. Will there be marshmallows? Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙃😊🧇🧇🧇🧇🧇
Amazing! I am soooo pleased for you! 💖💖💖💖🪿💖💖💖💖
I’m so excited (and beautifully overwhelmed)

(I love that we shared the early hours!) Thank you for taking the time to read the story, it definitely got away from me because it is so big.
I would love to have you come stay above the book shop when this dream comes to fruition!
Magical
That's great news! What a wonderful thing. I can't wait to hear more.
