Thanks Lorraine! Knowing there is someone out there reading what I am sharing motivates me to write every week. I appreciate you liking and commenting.
You are an inspiration!! I admire your tenacious and positive spirit. You will be successful at anything you choose to pursue. Keep going, my friend! Cheering you on from AZ.
Thank you so much for reading, liking and commenting. I'll just say thank you to your compliment and not minimize it like women often do- LOL. Since I have been on Substack, I feel my writing improving. However, my family & friends are a loyal fan base. I appreciate you all and hope everyone finds their "thing" whatever it is.
Thank you! I count you as part of my Lafayette Writers’ Studio family. Remember the Open Mic night at Matchbox? We heard each other read our work & independently each asked Melissa to introduce us. Then we learned our birthdays are 1 day apart! Writers gotta write❤️
Thank you, cousin! As I share here on Substack frequently, we come from a long family history of people who beat tremendous odds. They didn't just barely survive, they thrived and smiled & celebrated. But there was no platform to share their story, so I am sharing their stories along with my own. I think my spirit to become “Older, Bolder & Better” came from them. @Vee
Brenda I share your enthusiasm for rekindling dreams! I do want to add - some of the dreams I had while working many many hours (!) actually weren't good dreams at all. What I learned when I had the chance to get to all those things I thought I would do in retirement was - that I really didn't want to do them. And I learned its totally fine to pivot to something different. What we dream about in our 20s and 30s may be different in our 60s and 70s. The point is - dont be afraid to explore everything!
Bravo Brenda!!!! You Go!! I admire your focus

Thank you, Peggy, I appreciate you reading, liking posts and commenting. Sometimes as a writer you wonder if your message will resonate with others.
So happy you are doing what you love. You are SO talented.

Your story about your own inspiration and unflagging dedication to WRITING is inspiring!

Always dropping that knowledge and I know it’s possible because you did it too! You are the epitome of “older, bolder and better!”

Patti, thanks so much for sharing your comment. We evolve as people and the world around us evolves. Our dreams may evolve as well.
