Katrina, I rejoice with you at this news! Also, you are an incredibly generous soul. And funny. I'm enjoying getting to know you through your words. Seems like I need a lot of backstory to catch up on, too.
Well, I hate to say it... (ALTHOUGH I ALWAYS SAY IT!!)... but I was voted Best Sense of Humor in my class of 1988. That still stands, right?
I can't wait to jump into your stories, too. I haven't been reading much these past couple of weeks (except for Dr. Google), so I'm eager to jump back into life with both feet!
It's refreshing to read a humorous perspective, Katrina. My husband is very much that way. I am the brooding thinker, the one whose sensitivity tends to prick into the effervescence of his optimism. So it's a good balance, and a good reframing for my innate way of perceiving things.
Please don't feel obligated to read my posts. Read what strikes you, in the moment it strikes you. It seems that's the way my writing tends to land upon people's hearts: they receive whatever message they need the moment they need to read it. And I never know who that will be, or when, or how. I just write from the heart.
If I could safely scale a rooftop, I’d go there and shout the biggest “WOOHOO” for you, my friend! This is great news 🥳🥳🥳.
I am simultaneously so sorry to hear about your friend and her son. That is tragic 😔. My childhood best friend lost her mother in a devastating way (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, which killed her so quickly). She died Sunday. All I want to do is be with her and cry together, but I can’t and it’s crushing me. All this to say, I’m with you on that front this week 😞.
My ask of you? Please just keep doing what you’re doing here. I always look forward to reading what you have to say 💛

I hear you! I tend to write on the darker side--especially in long form. Those are some of my favorite things to read as well.
I can see that from reading your prologue, which was incredibly gripping. Well done there.

(also, LMK if the remedy is ice cream 😋. That would be so epic!)
I'm so sorry about your friend's mom. Ugh. Life is just so damn hard sometimes.
Thank you so much for your kind words about keepin' on keepin' on. And I'm thinking maybe we should do a test run on the ice cream idea together. <3
Next time I’m in Florida!
