Thanks for this piece, Jeannie. “All I can be is who I am now, and then work hard to become the person I most want to be.” Resonate closely with this line. We can think of endless ways to improve but it’s important to recognize that we are good as we are here and now.
External validation is nice but without intrinsic motivation, all art feels soulless. And people can tell the difference, I think. Glad you are finding passion in your words again!
I didn't know you from any of your books/writing/work before this Substack and I love what you write and share here. It is so personal, meaningful and encouraging. Thank you!
your writing is so pure....so human...so touching....so real. I am happy that you write, write, write....Please continue wring......I love reading what you are......God love you and so do I.....(from Bishop Fulton Sheen's TV program many years Ago!!!) Irene

So true - "we are good as we are now." I appreciate how you phrased that. Thank you 😊

"All art feels soulless" without believing in oneself. I love how you worded that, Julie! Thanks for being here with me.

That's so kind of you to say, Irene! Thank you
Congratulations on following a new path. That takes courage. Oh, and I LOVE that Mama Love book! My favorite read of 2024, so far. Have a good summer.
It's a great story! Being made into film.
