I feel such warmth in your writing, always!!! "Hope for someone else, if there's none left for you." What a beautiful idea. Now I know what to do with myself. Thank you, and Happy New Year!! ❤️

It's so interesting you've written about hope.. I've been thinking a lot about hopelessness. And how to handle that. I love the ways in which hope can sneak up on you but also how hard it is to practice hope in the midst of terrible body-mind spirals. So thanks for your lovely thoughts 💛

Getting to this late but thank you so much for the mention! I marvel at how we all found each other via Substack and the sense of kinship feels so strong. Sincere gratitude from me as well!
