Of course, Shell, you choose words and paint images that make all of us readers want to be with you around the fire in the woods. I am with you. Your words are comfort food to my soul.

Your storytelling always stirs memories within and creates curiosity of my own memories.

Felt it when you said: “ I truly want my story to touch others”. I didn’t realize the depth and importance of this until recently.

Last week Monday, I published a newsletter on “how to set smart goals for 2025”. In it, I talked about how I hesitated before writing the piece, asking my self if it was necessary to even talk to anyone about setting goals .

Someone in the comments said she had been searching for the exact thing I wrote about but hadn’t quite seen what she was looking for . She was so glad to come across the post, as it happened to answer all her questions.

It was such an eye opener for me.

You never know who needs to hear those words at that time so, share away!

Some years ago, I digitize all our photos and ever since continue to do that. I have everything in good order. I think I spend a part of every day looking back and, of course, I live where I grew up and where my grandparents were till they passed away and I have lived there for more than 30 years. The pictures are treasures, but so is being able to walk over places I played on when i was a kid
