I’m so with you on the voice notes angst, I don’t use them and I find leaving any kind of recorded message completely catches me out. I cannot remember why I’m calling, 🤔my phone number is impossible to recall, 😵💫 I basically forget everything about myself in the moment of panic 🥵 and so it goes on. Give me a human to speak to, the only way I can do recorded messages is by writing them down in advance. One of life’s little hazards to avoid! 😂😂😂
As always, I am so moved by your honesty and authenticity. Sharing your struggles with us reminds us that we are not alone in our own struggles. It also means that you don't have to bear the weight of your struggles on your own. There is a community out here supporting you from afar.
As I navigate chronic illness, I have recently (and unintentionally) lost thirty pounds. So, your amazing recipes also give me hope that once I'm strong enough to bake again, I can gain some weight back by eating delicious food!
i soooo want to make this bread (and just so happened to buy 6 bags of pearl sugar last week- oops) but i’m terrified to make bread. i LOVE it but feel i’ll fail miserably. thank you for the recipe. and sending lots of love. continue taking care of you. to say i can relate is an understatement and i just wish i could wave a magic wand your way. but i believe we end up stronger through all of this and you’re already strong and brave! xx
You're like that voice note from a friend, always a beautiful blessing. No need to apologize for anything. Just hoping you have some good days during the week. Always love hearing from you, all the updates, both good and bad. And of course praying for the weather to let up a bit to bring your mood up. I can definitely relate to low moods as a result of the weather. I think it's ok to struggle with lifeness, that's just being honest and real. No one complex and interesting had an easy, storybook life. I pray you'll get some genuine comfort and relief after all you've been through. I'm hoping you might find an opportunity with a sports organization, maybe just to spend your morning hours doing something you love. Something to show you how amazing and gifted you are, as you seem to have lost sight of this reality! I'm sure you thought about it already so I'm sorry for belaboring you the obvious, but keep looking for opportunities. The right one is just dying to meet you, to see you come walking through their door. I have no idea what the UK job market is like, but I can just imagine what the WRONG employer would do, greedily snap you up and use you and tire you out... and that'd be horrible. I have unending high hopes for you. My prayers go out to you.
Stephi - Once again I love getting your updates. Sorry you struggle but glad you are keeping your head up. My daughter is succeeding in rehab. Yey! I'm trying to make life simpler. You probably can relate. Easing up on the accelerator. Probably not a good idea for a race car most of the time, except when avoiding an accident. Perhaps that is in fact what I am doing. With gratitude for you. Scott

You inspire. For that, I'm grateful.
Thank you~
