This was such a great read. I love your openness about the full spectrum of emotions around something, bc you are right, life is messy and complicated, but we are lucky to have some artful expression in it.

10 years is a funny chunk of time. When I look backward at it, I feel like I've lived so many different lives. It's hard to imagine what the next 10 will bring! And yet, time has proven I can count on myself to keep seizing random opportunities to see where they lead. I'll certainly be writing more books and fan girling food. Do you have things in your next 10 years you want?

Dani, it took me a heartbeat to respond because your reply was so lovely and I'm so grateful you even read it! I love that you have the self-awareness to know you can count on yourself to seize random opportunities and look forward to seeing those "published"! notifications when you write more books. That's definitely on my Next 10 Bucket List: Publish the novel I've had in my drawer for a lifetime. Plus maybe a few more;) More travel with the family. And dare I even say: a Successful Substack!?

YES TO THE BOOK AND THE SUCCESSFUL SUBSTACK! Those are some great goals! What genre is this book you have tucked away? I'm curious now!
