It would seem that my evolution takes two steps forward and a half step back. Maybe I could say I have many starts and stops. Right now I’m on the “start” side of things. I’ve come to realize that I can’t do everything for everybody and still have something left for me. I’m just trying to figure out how to make that alright in my head--the guilt I mean. It is getting better, though. I am comforted knowing that things don’t fall apart if I don’t/can’t get to them! I’ve also come to realize that there is no “final” point in my life where all is figured out and that there isn’t a “perfect” time in my life. I am embracing the art of finding a slice of joy, laughter, peace in difficult times.
"I have many starts and stops." I love this and I share the sentiment and reality. I also love the truth and possibility, the forward movement in it. Thank you, Dear Friend.
Whether it's better to be liked or respected is an interesting question. At first, I thought I'd say "liked," because close personal friendships matter more than admiration from anonymous people. But then I think of people whose work I respect tremendously, though I may not like them personally. I want to answer yes to both of these things!

No, they can't can they.

Oh, this is so interesting, Wendy! I hadn't thought of "liked or respected" in that way. Thank you for this!
