Oh, Suma!!! What a wonderful story!!! My goodness! I had no idea that your husband didn't really 'get it' about you and writing - despite your decades-long career with words, despite publishing several books. And all it took was to learn that I trusted you with my publication??! Wow.

Well, whatever works, I guess!! I'm just happy that he's finally respecting you and your abilities as a writer!

And what a beautiful start to my day (especially given that I woke after only a few hours and have been working since I couldn't go back to sleep). You said such lovely things about me! Thank you so, so much, my dear friend! And thank you, too, for sharing a couple of my stories! You are so generous.

I love the points you made, too, about studying people and what makes them tick. It's something I've always done, too, and it helped me a lot in my work as a counsellor, hypnotist and later as a homeopath.

Lovely to see that you shared the recent stories on Hope, Healing and Humour!

A beautiful post - thank you so much again for your kindness! 💜💜💜
