It's utterly amazing how varied our experiences can be on this earth. I've read Strayed's memoir more than once. I look forward to reading yours if you ever work your essays up for publication. In the meantime I am enjoying reading your reflections and recollections. It's a shame I didn't see/realize you'd written a longer post on your first Christmas without your mum when I responded from the gut to your note on the occasion. I assumed you were writing about the isolation of CC people, and went on that way. I'm sorry to have made my response about me but I'll leave it up. I've since expressed my condolences elsewhere, on another of your threads. I know it will be am especially painful holiday season for you this year. Take care.
Oh, that’s OK, nothing you wrote was at all offensive and I really appreciate your reading and saying such kind things! I’m writing a book of essays as part of my PhD so fingers crossed it will be published one day… 🙏
I LOLed at the why Cheryl Strayed did heroine line! From my POV, it was a very logical decision.
Yeah, it makes SO much sense now!
