It means a lot to me that you found this post grounding. On the mushroom people front, I was “gifted” with a huge bolete yesterday morning, all ready to come up, relatively unscathed by little critters, and now beautifully dried in pieces in my food dryer, to make a delicious powder to add to winter dishes. I am, indeed, blessed by them, and so much more. The world needs us all. love back to you always–

I’m grateful that you had the grace and courage to create this blog post even from the cusp of tears, because it’s as grounding for me (and other readers, no doubt) as it seems to be for you.

Yes, those mushrooms were a reminder that life, nourishment, and blessings are always all around us, even when it’s very, very hard. And it occurred to me that they were nourishment for you, too, which might give you the strength to keep writing, advocating, sharing your voice and your stories. We all need them. And the world needs them.

So much love, friend.

xoxo

You are such a brave and powerful woman and I truly admire you. Each of your messages touch something inside me that needs attention and I am so thankful. Your stories are full of words that make each of us think; that’s another gift. The fact that each and every one of them comes straight from the heart is another gift. We sing your praises because we genuinely mean it. Thank you Maria, for being you and caring enough about all of us to make us think and appreciate things that we might have seen as a reason to feel depressed or worse. Instead, we feel that someone cares and shares their love without expecting anything in return. Thank you for your messages.

I have changed my email address and put it in the place (above) where the old one was. In case it doesn’t work, please change it from:
testarosa@embarqmail.com to dogsmom49@gmail.com Thank you.
