Hello Robin, Robin and Erin, Thank you for this invitation. My growth has been slow and steady. I began writing at 56, stopped and started again through the inspiration of my daughter with a disability. I call her The Unstoppable Abby. When she graduated home high school (huge accomplishment), she began to feel self-conscious about her difference, like she was always being stared at and excluded. This broke my heart to see her withdraw. She has traveled with me to my retreats. I call her my apprentice but I know I am hers. She is happy to have a few, even one solid emotional connection. She has taught me to write to connect, to find the deeper meaning in the hard, in our differences, and to find what unites us. I find it hard to push for numbers but I love connecting to the depth within people, their histories, the archetypes that guide us and reframing to find the golden thread of love — the through line to boost self-love, healing, emotional connection. Abby is wired for connection. I think we all are. My first post on how I came to Substack 6 months ago at age 66—tells the story. I cherish all she brings and feel sad when others do not see her for who she is. I'm sure we all get a bit of that. Abby is Medicine. Thank you all.

Your gift to the world, Prajna, is connection. I see that so clearly.
