How thoughtful! Thank you Miss Charlotte. Oh my after reading C K Steefel’s Funny AF Women post this morning the phrase ‘Miss Charlotte’ has me recalling the Carol Burnett Gone with the Wind skit. I think it was Vickie Lawrence playing the maid who’d run into the scene flapping her hands saying ‘Miz Scarlett! Miz Scarlett! Miz Scarlett!’
Beautiful, Cori, and you are right, so important to be present. I am especially touched by the hugs. I don’t think you can be anything but present when you’re wrapped in a hug.
Lovely sentiments and well written. Being present in a giving way rather than in a self involved way. Hope you have an easy Lent. Is that the appropriate wish for one?
I love that you’ve wished me an easy Lent. I only recall one ‘hard’ Lent when I gave up coffee. I didn’t miss the coffee I missed the camaraderie with a good work friend with whom I walked to the cafeteria every morning for coffee. It was like I lost a family member. Interestingly I had many goals this Lent but God and I had other plans. I’m reading a book by Alexander Semenyuk, Only His Words, which is a compilation of quotes by Jesus. I’ve not felt driven to ‘work a list’ of things I’d wanted to work on this Lent and God keeps sending me messages (like the verse used for this title, like why aren’t I giving more and giving more thoughtfully - stuff like that) and curveballs so it’s been one of my most interesting Lents so far, I’m just now realizing.
Hey you! Thanks for chiming in. I’m glad you liked it! I’m still enjoying the citrus you sent. Saw in a post this week that if you have an old lemon you can slice It up and soak it in water and it comes back to life as lemonade. I gave up sugar for lent but I have some homemade lemonade in my Easter plans!

Thank you Kim. I was in a strange and hopeful place when I wrote this last year. I felt alone and unloved but friends I didn’t know were such, emerged from the fog reminding me to see the world through a lens not made of my own story. It’s the first I’d felt open to and observant of others in decades and my perceptions were shockingly different from what I’d created in my own mind. Eyes up, (I’ve heard ‘tits up’ lately lol) hearts open…have a glorious Sunday.
Although, I don’t practice lent, I’m with you in spiritual understanding of being in the presence and spreading love in abundance Cori! 🙏🤗✨

Lol that show was the best.
My moms birthday is 03/03, so it's always a VERY strong energetic portal for me, which is already powerful on its own.
I hope someday my sons feel an energetic portal (of undeniable love) from something about me. Thank you for reading and sharing.✌️✨

I hope you were gifted one today! If not, I’m sending you a 20 second internet hug 🤗❤️.
Thank you! Had a lot of hugs at my going away party today it was awesome
Oh!! That’s very exciting! Cheers to that 🥂🎉
Those 20 second hugs are the bestest 🫠
Vanessa, I love this so much!! Very timely.
Thanks sis. It was a good reminder for me

Very perceptive. Thanks!
Thank you Joan. I got a blank email from you this week. Might have been a ‘butt dial’. Lol. Please let me know if I missed something
I think I must have missed something! Must have been a butt dial as I have total memory non-retention.
Thanks for sharing this today, its so important! Restacking this one for sure!
You as well!
