I feel like that came out of my brain. Like it was channeled. Although, as a sign of the time when I started, I was on blogger which was also blogspot at some point. Deleted. Gone. I didn’t deem it worthy of being read. Who cares what I have to say? In the end, I realized I care what I have to say and that’s enough. -J Lynn

See? It's good to have company. That's another reason why we write. And you are right: don't need a reason, anyway. But sometimes shit gets hard and so... xo

I am the cat. But the fuzzy octopus lives inside my skull. Concussion sucks.

Thank you. Now, where’s my stuffed octopus? Seriously. I’m glad for your happiness! Your mom would be, too. It was weird hard times when we were growing into our skin. Be blessed.

Thank you for saying that. I miss my mom every day, and wish she could have found some of the peace I have found. But like you said, whoa weird hard times for women at that moment in time. I'm just grateful you all were out there doing the best you could, so we could follow in your footsteps in a (slightly) better world.

We tried. Many are still trying. Not enough of us it sometimes seems.

I love that you’re BACK!! Hearing your voice I’ve missed so much…thinking about the joy and mystery you experience finding the old blogs and thinking “Who was that??”
