Gosh, Linda! What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for the kind shout-out and share of my story.

And thank you for this wonderful compilation of other goodies to read. I'll bookmark this so I can dive in this week.

I'm so sorry to hear that the pandemic has impacted you in such lasting and significant ways. I wish I could wave a wand and get you back to the way things were BEFORE ...

But I can't - so at least I can say I'm so glad you found your way to Medium, and that you're enjoying being here. I'm sure glad to have "met" you!

Thanks again for sharing my story, and for your kindness in putting together this list to support a selection of your fellow writers.

I appreciate you! 💜
