Susie, this, "conversation without eye contact?" and this, "I’ve narrowed it down to two things that I’d like to learn: how to be a better writer and how to love more generously" yes!! I love this. shining right back at you. xoxo
I want to be a better writer and to love more generously… what a powerful and potent intention, especially since each one polishes the other. I will move forward buoyed by your words. Thanks. Again!
There is so much love in your writing and it's always teaching me something simple and profound like Deb's wonderful Soul Support, posters and books. Much light and love to you in the year ahead.
Such kindness and gentleness, such forgiveness for it all, from both you and Deb. I remember you talking of her, and of what an extraordinary generosity she had for others. These are all such "worthy" qualities. I feel a bit bathed after reading this, dear friend.
One of my favorites of yours and a lasting inspiration --I don't have Deb, but I leave little notes for myself here and there on my desk, in my files, in piles, in emails, and they create the same epiphany or the same reinforcement. I never thought to do this for others (not the art part, not my talent!). Lovely year's end to you and all hopes for sanity, peace, justice and health for all living things ahead, however possible.
Susie, deep in the dark heart of the universe, Manhattan, I read your words and smile, feel more connected to my community, and also so proud of Deb’s offerings to us all. They are part of my curriculum for 2025. Thank you dear and missed IWOW friend.
Good message for today. And may these days of light help us all to feel merry and bright. The challenges we imagine may never materialize. We’ll see…
It’s all in the what if now. What a time!
A wonderful commentary on the human journey. Keep writing Susie, you encourage and comfort all of us.
That’s a great kindness coming from you.

I’m partial to that idea about writing being conversation without eye contact. Gives me a whole new take.
Yes!
I echo Jocelyn about the phrases that captured me. And your light is shining on me, bringing warmth and peace, and I hope shines back from me to you.
Always food for thought. Always heartfelt wisdom. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for reading my work,
Happy New Year, Elaine......Thanks for reading my work.
So beautiful. Thank you
Thank you for the delight of knowing you.

Each one polishes the other…..Yes! I have days when I despair of the writing. But how would I learn to love more generously without it?
I think a poet, writerteacher was asked that question and he replied, Breathe, my dear.

It’s such a blessing to have the opportunity to call on Deb. It’s a privilege to remember her.
Such kindness and gentleness, such forgiveness for it all, from both you and Deb. I remember you talking of her, and of what an extraordinary generosity she had for others. These are all such "worthy" qualities. I feel a bit bathed after reading this, dear friend.
It’s a contagion. That’s how it gets passed on, isn’t it?
Happy birthday to your son and may his and your internal lights continue to shine brightly in this world of ours.
What a kind message!
Happy Hannukah Susie!

Thanks, Zoe. She had such a light touch. You never thought you were being proselytized at.

So appreciate the Deb and IWOW connection. Blessings to you in the new year.
