I had been thinking about this very idea when Linda Marie Marten’s beautiful post landed in my inbox today. For me, 2022’s theme was “say yes to life”. I wanted to push myself to explore more, try new things, visit new places, and face some of my fears.
As I continue on this path of pursuing possibility, I find more doors opening. I now glimpse a wider horizon than my post trauma brain could ever envision.
I delighted in reading about Linda’s bold move, as well as discovering our shared love of the color red. I also own a pair of favorite red shoes!
I hope Linda Marten’s post will inspire you, too, whatever your age or circumstance.

Thank you for the pointer to this delightful post, I wouldn’t have found it otherwise!

Thank you. Love the Sartre quote. Maybe that is the meaning of life–to figure out how to really live before it’s over! As for revelations, I suppose I may share these in my writing.

Thanks, Tamara. When we keep our eyes open, the world seems to expand. And now that the world has opened up more safely (as far as illness goes), the time is right. Spring, too, brings a feeling of hope and blooming of sorts.
