@mamacita My writings are being slowly collected and collated into one place, that may result in a self-published tome. I haven't decided. But I do know the title is "My Side of the Street". Why? Because I can only keep my side of the street clean, and I only know my side of the street. Now, my experiences may be similar to someone else's, and my experiences and the lessons learned may be helpful to someone else, but I've only walked in my own shoes. So as you have said, I try to be gentle in my words but also it's very truthful and how I feel. It's being authentic to me. Like you, I am at the age where what people think of me just doesn't matter to me. There is a saying at the end of my personal emails that is a quote from Dr. Seuss. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." I truly believe in that. Mamacita, you are one of a kind as we all are. But your wisdom and willingness to lead us and cheer us on is something that I really appreciate.
