Enjoyed this read, I'm new to writing and I'm pulled to write in this later chapter of life. I want it for me, like therapy, I think. Never for $. I know stories matter, think I'll tell a few here . ☮️

Thanks for stopping by, Debbie. It's never too late to dive into writing, and doing it for yourself is really the only way to keep momentum. Good luck telling your stories!

Observation, reflection, connection. Yes to this kind of writing.

For me, writing that generates conversation is the whole reason that I've been blogging for 20+ years. It's what I've yearned for each time I hit publish on a piece, and Substack is finally delivering on that in a small way. I just can't stand the high pressure sales version of a certain sub-division of this platform. I find myself using the mute button quite liberally.

My current third place is our local library. It’s just me and the old folks reading the newspaper 🤣
