In my early twenties, I too was married and broken open by a film. Terminator Two, oddly enough. Mine is a coming out story, initiated by Linda Hamilton and all her muscles. I didn't have children or church, or a reason to sit on what I felt stirring within; met a woman, fell in love, started a very unconventional life. You just never know what the impetus will be to steer yourself home. Thank you for sharing your origin story!

I call myself a self help junkie. I read my first personal development book at 20. By Dr Leo Buscaglia, titled Love. I also closed the shutters and door and spent a year understanding who I am. Now at 62, I have let those self help books go. I enjoy reading different genres, and work on staying present.

Your writing resonates loudly—which is why I keep getting pulled to you, enjoying what you share. You express so well that search for inner self.

I am 35 and still enjoying reading your posts. Once in a while I think, "should I unsubscribe? I'm not over 60,"

But I find value in what you share.

1978 I was 23yrs old and drove my Fiat from Wisconsin to Colorado and am still here. The 2 movies I saw in Colorado that year were “Looking for Mr GoodBar” and seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight. I met my husband in a bar in 1979 and it’s been a long strange journey for sure.

👏 Yea, those shoulds, woulds, and coulds deserve to be permanently ostracized!

Life: one day at a time; often one moment at a time. As the old children's joke goes, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." And we stumble upon many elephants in our rooms. 🐘 as a literary example only. None were injured writing this post. 🤭

Thank you for your vulnerability while revealing truths we desperately crave to understand. 🧗‍♀️ 💛

What an incredible story! It’s rare for someone to have experienced and achieved so much, especially so early in life. Meeting countless famous people is impressive on its own, but adding roles like music producer, talent manager, published music magazine writer, and owner of a small online newspaper takes it to another level. It’s hard to imagine anyone topping that, and reading about it is truly awe-inspiring. My own bio feels modest in comparison.
