Thank you! For these sentences specifically:

“. . . we can feel very busy in this misery business. But if that business doesn’t involve offering your gifts to the collective, then I’d question if you are really practicing the discipline of hope. My call to action for you today would be to figure out what the word hope means for you in terms of action.”

Glad you are glowing!

Thank you for the 100 Days essay and for The Uninnocent, I ordered it and devoured. A true meditation on hope, heartbreak and the power of making. Thank you.

I, too, do not know where I would be without creativity. It trumps all external pursuits (a lot of which I have given up, also to embrace sobriety). Thanks for a great article.
