You just keep writing. I visualize everything you write about. You are very good at touching the soul of your readers. Why do I think a mini-series and your life will sometime cross paths? :)

Good for you, using the things that bring joy. That cake sounds awesome. I have a “precious” area rug rolled up under my bed that I can’t bear to take out, though I love it so much. I am afraid my dog will destroy it ; maybe soon, I think she is getting better. Thank you for this reminder to enjoy life and the things that make it homey ❤️

Thank you Jenn. I’m glad you liked it. Maybe you could use some wood to hang the rug on a wall or put it in a space less used by your dog. Good luck!

Those are excellent ideas, thank you so much. It would be really cool as a wall hanging.

Bless you Cori and Cameron. My most cherished possessions are my Mom’s old bowls. Memories of her potato salad and ambrosia salad flood my thoughts when using them. When I cook, I feel her energy and intention. Our meals taste better.

I'd slap one up here if Substack allowed images in the comments!

This was a great essay, I enjoyed it.

I think it’s in settings - to allow images and links. Maybe that’s just DM. I’ll figure it out and do a Stacky Speaks post about it
