What a wonderful post, Alexa, thank you for sharing. I'm a big fan of Julie Andrews (because Mary Poppins ❤️) and will gladly listen to the podcast episode you mention.

I have found strength in all that comes. My son's rare illness, our journey through that, and his passing at 33. I'm working on softening from these hard knocks that life threw my way. I don't feel angry. I want to embrace it and learn from it. To gather women friends and cherish them. Thank you for your writings!

Thank you for sharing your story, and your hopes, too. We can only get stronger when we share and lift each other up. I appreciate these words.

I just read this entry & thought to myself, WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN READING EVERY WORD THIS WOMEN HAS EVER WRITTEN? And where have I been until now ??(Although I do know the answer to that question: although I am a lifetime voracious reader, I am only recently familiar with Substack). In any case, I am so glad to have found your work & will continue to be a fan....thank you for sharing your thoughts & gifts with all of us anonymous readers out there. And I loved the meditation at the end & will be sharing it widely (I hope that's ok).
