Mary, this is everything. I see you—& I see who I’ve grown into too. The woman who finally slipped back into herself, rose-tinted & rain-slicked, no longer apologising for the scent of strong coffee or the shape of her joy. I’ll happily sit in the rain with you. Let’s drink our tea, listen for trains, & keep an eye out for the fairies making cardamom—I think mine owe me a refill.
Kim, oh, this is glorious. Yes, "the woman who finally slipped back into herself..." Hello, little fairies, I could do with a refill too! Let's see...what does a fairy want in exchange?
Honestly, probably snacks. Mine are partial to Turkish delight & eavesdropping. Sometimes I catch them judging my laundry pile or hiding teaspoons, but they always come through when it counts.
Let’s leave out cake crumbs & questionable decisions—they seem to love both.
Ah, Mary, this is such a wonderful soul finding and freeing post! To be you, connect with yourself, and discover your cat woman energy is FABULOUS! Those rose colored, Janis Joplin sunglasses are surely SPECTACULAR, too! Reading, as your words painted you with uncovered strong coffee in a rainy day porch sit while listening to the train move, revealed a portrait of you truly sublime! I don't need to tell you to ENJOY every last moment of it! Thank you for reminding me to appreciate the cat woman within me!
I love the image of you on your covered porch in your Janis Joplin glasses!
Wendy, now I have this strong urge to listen to her rendition of "Me and Bobbie McGee."
Me, too!

Here’s to choosing ourselves, over & over.
