Start to finish, a wonder! I could see, smell, touch all of your descriptions and I feel so much more connected to your journey and others post Covid journey from your writing.

Thank you babe. Here for you, just as you are and Kate Bowler♥️♥️

Happy Easter family✝️

I’ve been thinking about you on a daily basis and wondering how this journey went. Your words entranced me and filled my cup, as usual. Now that I know you’re home, I’ll give you a call.

Weirdly, right before I read these words, I listened to the interview with Rabbi Steve Leder on Everything Happens. I was already in the mindset of “Is it worth it? No. Does it have to be worthless? No.” We can discuss more in Paxos? Hugs!

Woman! We always do find serendipity with one another. For 40 years! Please let's go to Paxos. I love you.

You are my biggest fan. Actually, you'll need to wrestle Mom for that. I love you, papa.

I love that we are in this venture together, too! I have to miss a week for an appointment in May, which is a bummer, but am loving the group and the program so far. And you inspired me--I've reserved the audio of the Bruni book. Enjoy this gloriously sunny day!

Delightful and inspiring read, Adele! You and I have another thing in common… Kate Bowler! I just listened to the Frank Bruni one, which had me wishing everyone with a mask had a sandwich board explaining why so people would be more compassionate about our continued need for PPE. I’ll have to listen to the one you referenced next. Anyway, so glad you took this trip. So much of what you’ve written here resonates for me!

Amy! I am thrilled to be sharing your company in our new venture together; missed this week due to an appt. but will be attending the rest. Thanks so much for reading. It means the world to me that anyone going through this fun fest might find resonance here. I immediately tore through Frank Bruni's book after that episode! So looking forward to connecting more and hopefully in person in the not too distant future. xo
