Hello, Ginny. I love reading what you write. I feel like I'm meandering the edge of that land with you. It's a big deal to give the children your time--after all this is your motherhood, as well as their childhood. You deserve to sink deep into it. And it's a big deal to keep some tethers in the world so that you're still you, even if you don't know which'll lead where. I think that's so wise. You are doing an amazing job. I admire it. And also, as always, the way you write.
I remember before children, dreaming of working in my studio, standing at my easel, brush in hand, while my toddler played blissfully in the corner. It’s a vivid dream that I remember to this day. Never once did it happen. And now, 51 years later, I’m ok with that. I lived a different version of that dream, one even better. It’s good to eek away at the projects when you can and as you can. It’s how life is lived. I love watching you and Chris living your life with your two precious kiddos. You’re doing it! And even finding the time to write! ❤️ (and making a mean pot of stir fry that I’m now craving… leftovers?🥰)

Hello, Isabel! Thanks so much. It IS a big deal, and one that is often under appreciated by the World—but the children know.
I just feel so delighted by the start of these comments/ replies. Like receiving a little letter! Goodbye, Ginny! Until next time :)
