Step Back, Bubba
Connection has changed form — and we’re the proof.
A reader told me she looks forward to having coffee with my post every morning.
That line stuck to my ribs.
Because isn’t that what we all want — to feel connected, seen, and just a little more alive before the day begins?
The “professionals” keep saying people who live alone are in danger of isolation.
Bless their hearts.
They’re still counting heads when connection now happens through hearts and inboxes.
I may live alone, but I’m in more homes across this country — in more inboxes around the world — than those studies could ever measure.
Every post, every painting, is a conversation.
That’s not isolation. That’s modern intimacy.
You know that feeling when a line of writing lands in your chest and you whisper, “Yes”?
When your coffee ritual feels like company?
When your soul stretches awake for a minute before the world gets noisy again?
That’s connection. That’s communion.
We’re not growing lonelier.
We’re evolving.
The old formulas for community — committees, potlucks, busy calendars — don’t fit everyone anymore.
Some of us are building a new kind of village made of art, honesty, and everyday truth.
We don’t need a clipboard study to prove it.
So here’s to every woman sipping her morning coffee, scrolling through words that feel like a friend.
You and I are living proof: connection hasn’t disappeared — it’s just changed form.
And we’re already leading the way.
Starting tomorrow, free readers will only get one or two emails a week.
If you’ve been starting your mornings with me—coffee in hand, words that land where you need them—this is your sign to stay close.
Because let’s be honest: the holidays can stir up a lot. Old stories. Empty spaces. Uncomfortable moments we didn’t see coming.
If you feel that wobble, you need a foundation—something steady to bring you back to yourself each day.
