Reignited! Yes! What a perfect word for it! Thank you Tamsin for that perfect distilled description.

It is so very wonderful! (I’ve already writer her a letter, and it feels so lovely so be able to do that knowing it will be happily received)

Wow. This hit my heart big time. I'm going through a similar situation. Thank you for your notes. I may approach my situation differently now...with kindness and love and understanding.

Oh! Holly!

I am sending you such big love and so feel with you…friendship is such a complex thing, and the fact that my life-journaling and being honest…could…be resonant for you right now.

I’m so glad that our paths have crossed, and continue to cross.

I'm going to remember Necessary Catastrophizing. [And I just fixed my typo of x for z, but that led me to.... Catastrofixing!]

That was a lovely day. Thank you for sharing your poem! I heard you read it but was distracted and am so happy to have been able to catch up on it this way. It’s both brilliant and surprising (because of its source). Art is everywhere.

I’m also continually blown away by how appropriate the cards are. Wow. I’m really enjoying flexing my engineering brain at the same time as my artistic and whimsical brain. It’s so satisfying to hold all these things simultaneously… and find that they are not in conflict but instead are strengthened by each other.

Thank you again for making space for me. It was a real honour to be included!

I loved listening to you answer our friend’s questions. I love that all of us contain multitudes, and that in that space it felt like I could be all of me. That you can be yourself, and be seen for the wonderful complex individual you are!

A true joy indeed!
