One of the most enjoyable parts of reading is that post-reading reflection, turning over in your mind the questions of "What did the author intend?" and "What did I take away?"...and, of course, to each question, "Why?"

Thank you for continuing to put the good, thought-provoking stuff out there.

Love the new layout.

Good one. Just right. 1,000 words is a lot. I like to keep it to 2-300. Minimalist, or just lazy? Or...keeping my armor up! Things that make you go hmmm...

French women delivered at home. Sounds scary unless they are coming to clean! ;)

Bien fait!

So much to think about, as usual. So many phrases that are changing or clarifying my thinking. Geez, Shanna. You do so much for me, every week.

That is very brave indeed! This is why I love reading your words. It's so interesting to see how others define themselves and your wordplay is one of the main reasons I enjoy your writings so much! I aspire to be, if not the same then similar ( If we were all the same, how boring that would be!). Keep it up, never reveal the whole 'you' I love filling in the gaps!! xx

Very brave to show your vulnerability. I think I’m too armored these days and don’t feel so open.
