Once again, Carrie, you’ve made me think about some things I’ve kept in storage even though I’m generally an open book by nature. I went cold turkey when I was told they were retiring my position. I’d experienced it before and it didn’t blindside me. I quickly realized it was another disguised blessing, that getting off the road, literally, would give me an opportunity to take care of myself physically and emotionally. Now you’ve gone and inspired me to start writing again, get my story down for my family. But I won’t tell them everything. All the best to one of the best.

Carrie you speak for so many with your gifts, thank you. 4 decades of simmering in the crucible of continued distillation of a well honed craft brings you and those you touch with your words to higher levels. Maybe the 5th step is clear honesty and like the 4 agreements, be impeccable with your word, for that heavenly reservation. I was slow to catch up on the SHT split but all too familiar myself with pattern of no good job goes unpunished and have learned the power of self discipline and comfort on " The Road Less Travelled". Current times seem to operate inverse parameters, the more you are ostracized and judged, the greater Truth is probably being told and truly better Works you are probably doing. You speak to and for so many, from the ❤. Thank you for being a year round Valentine for us all, we are with you on the journey.
