Glad you are soaring into your future!

I’ll be cheering you on in your next stage of your journey, at North Atlantic Books. I’m trying to find my way back to the Bay Area, too, so maybe we’ll meet again soon.

The courage it takes a person to hold steady to their dreams is profound. It’s the true grit we are asked to dig deep for, and you came up with a robust serving. I never doubted for a moment that you would be returning to the Bay and soon. No level of reassurance can lift a person from the dark underbelly of uncertainty that you just emerged from – victorious, and more evolved. Yay YOU!

Well done, Tim, I’ll remember your ideas next time depression comes lurking around. Congrats on the new gig — who what when and where? xo, Gillian

And maybe each of us humans can relate in our own way, in some way or ways. Welcome home…

Rio is a fortunate boy to have parents who can understand and guide without harsh judgements or narrow-minded constrictions.

The self-acceptance and self-growth paradox is intriguing. As I recall “mistakes” I made in my own youth (though we often do not completely know what is one and what is not), I shall try to grant myself more compassion and indeed, forgiveness, for the times I now think I played things too safe and missed opportunities, as well as for the times I went “too far” and made a hash of things.

Cheers!
