"Re-integration isn’t becoming someone new. It’s calling home the parts of you that you sent away because they didn’t fit the life you were building at the time" - thank you so much for this 🙏🏼 It's quite a thing, feeling whole. And that's exactly where the journey begins 🌈

Just what I needed to hear today! You have inspired me - even though I’m still working a full-time admin job, I can spend 15 minutes a day in my creative space! This is Martie, BTW!

He taught journalism, so it’s possible they were in the same department. I know he wrote a book on genealogical research as well. His name was Lynn Tomas.

Thank you, dear friend. When I was thinking about who my inner monologue considers “real writers”, you were one of the first that came to mind. ❤️
