It was brief, and I’m never succinct, but I had to go somewhere, and was in a hurry. I loved that podcast you made. I soaked it all up. The thing that resonated most was the other lady saying something like…I will never ever go through anything as bad as I have already lived through. It’s out of context, but the sentiment is similar. I have been thinking about that line she gave us all like a gift. I wrote it down somewhere, but can’t find it now.

Anyway, I was thinking that I’ve been through miscarriage, pneumonia 7 times, drought, flood, emergency births twice, my house burning down, losing all my possessions, getting fired twice, a botched knee replacement, 4 years of nerve pain from two work accidents, COPD, PMR, torn hamstrings that haven’t healed, two major car crashes, Fibro, chronic asthma, Emphysema, a low birth weight, and a massive bushfire in 2019-2020 that burned out a mountain on our property. And that’s not all. Surely, I couldn’t do any worse in the future. I’m thinking of her saying that, thinking of believing it is true for me too.

Thanks, Magdalena, I am so glad you are thriving on Substack…so professional.

Thank you very much for those healing wishes. Yours was the first LIVE session I ever listened to on Substack. It did resonate with me. I’m still thinking about it.

Margaret Williams, I searched for what she said, but could only find my interpretation of it. I was going to pop it into a note.

I realize that anything I go through in the future can’t be any worse than what I’ve already got through and hurdled over in the past.

I’m not sure, and I didn’t want to plagiarize Margaret’s wonderful words. I might have to listen to your interview again.

Thank you for your faith in me. It means a lot to have your support. I appreciate your interest in my work very much.
